Barossa Loop

Things are changing!


March 2023 Update: The City's contractors have confirmed the timeline for demotion. What can you expect to see in the coming weeks?

  • 17 March 2023: Site fencing being erected around the skate park
  • 20-24 March 2023: Demolition being carried out at site
  • 25 March- 21 April 2023: Landscaping and beautifying of the new space
  • 28 April 2023: Completion of the project!

Following feedback from local residents, stakeholders and Council, the City are repurposing the area in which Barossa Skate Park in Harrisdale, currently resides.


This means the skate park will be removed and will be repurposed to a more passive landscaped environment, providing the community with a quiet, natural parkland space to enjoy. In addition to the skate park component of the park, the basketball hoop and backboard will also be removed.


Why? The decision was in response to a recent independent assessment of the noise attributed to the current facilities, which showed noise levels higher than permitted.


Numerous alternatives to the complete removal of the skate park were considered, however no ‘active’ recreation solutions were deemed viable.

Additionally, you can see the full council report presenting the results of the noise assessment undertaken for the Barossa Skate Park here, or in the documents tabs to the right 👉


Works expected to commence: February 2023, no set date has been confirmed at this stage.

For the duration of the re-development and to allow construction to go ahead safely, the current space will be temporarily closed with the construction site surrounded by fencing.

The majority of works will involve earthworks, landscaping and modifications to retained park infrastructure/landscaping. The primary hours of work will be on the weekdays from 7.00am to 5.00pm.

There may be some noise and dust during the work for nearby residents and businesses. We will make every effort to minimise the impact of the works on the community as much as possible. The City of Armadale thanks local residents and businesses in advance for their patience during these works.

Construction work is not expected to have an adverse impact on any resident or property, however should you wish to discuss any concerns prior to the works commencing or during the construction period, please contact the Parks Development team on 9394 5000 or email parks@armadale.wa.gov.au.
