The Skate Park Sports Club in North Lakes. With the collaborative efforts of the Council, Caboolture Sports Club, and the Federal and State Governments, a brand new rugby union and touch football facility is being built at the Petersen Road Sports Ground in Morayfield. This impressive $6.15 million project aims to cater to the needs of nearly 2,000 local players who currently utilise the existing facility.
One exciting aspect of this project is the plans for a new clubhouse, which will include four multipurpose changerooms, modern amenities, a fully-equipped kitchen, viewing decks, and tiered seating. These upgrades are not only intended to enhance the overall experience for players but also to support the aspirations of the Snakes, the club associated with the facility, in their quest to enter the Queensland Premier Rugby competition.
Morayfield MP Mark Ryan expressed his enthusiasm for the upgrades, stating that they will provide the Snakes with a platform for growth, both on and off the field. Additionally, it will serve as a gathering point for the entire community. Ryan also noted that a promotion to the topflight competition would not only excite local fans but also offer young and aspiring juniors a clear pathway to pursue their dreams, including the possibility of representing Australia one day. He also acknowledged the Skate Park Sports Club's commendable community work, particularly through their annual Sponsor and Charity Day Jersey Auction, and expressed hope that these new facilities will further enhance their efforts.
Kelvin Patch, the CEO of Caboolture Sports Club, expressed his delight in seeing all levels of government collaborating to support community sport. He emphasised the significance of sports in building cohesive communities and commended the positive transformations that have already taken place over the years in Moreton Bay. Patch considers this new project as another momentous step forward for the Skate Park Sports Club.
In conclusion, the forthcoming skateboarding event organised by the Skate Park Sports Club promises to be even more captivating and enjoyable with the new facilities being developed. The Council's partnership with Caboolture Sports Club and the support from Federal and State Governments showcases their commitment to providing top-notch facilities for the local sporting community. So, come and join us at the Petersen Road Sports Ground to witness the thriving sporting spirit of North Lakes and experience the excitement of the upcoming event.
