The youth of Mutitjulu are very excited about the plans and designs for a new skatepark.
Mutitjulu community has been after a dedicated park for skateboarders to engage with a wide range of youth without supervision or maintenance requirements as well as somewhere practice their skills and keep them active.

Everyone busy planning the skatepark
As a first step to having a permanent skatepark in Mutitjulu, Dave Tome from MCAC (Mutitjulu Community Aboriginal Corp) organised for a Perth-based company Skate Sculpture to come to Mutitjulu.
Skate Sculpture with assistance from the guys at Spinifex Skateboards, Dave Tome from MCAC, and Kenny Hewson from RN Employment Services was able to build some wooden skateboard ramps to gauge community interest and to teach the Mutitjulu youth how to skateboard.
Building the ramps 
Nearly done, temporary skate ramps nearly completed.
Tim Yuen and Mat de Koning founded Skate Sculpture which is a specialty skate park design consultancy firm, they have designed and built successful skateparks throughout WA
Spinifex Skateboards were instrumental in supplying instruction and training to the kids. Spinifex Skateboards was founded by Nicky Hayes who is an Arrernte man and traditional owner from Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa).

Concreting the paths to build the new skatepark
Nicky has been successful in getting an indoor Skatepark installed in Santa Teresa community and was the organiser of the Inaugural Spinifex Skateboards First Nations Skate Tour in January 2020.
Once the ramps were built Skate Sculpture was able to hold community consultation sessions which included community input on a skatepark design.

The kids love the skateboard ramps and
cannot wait for the park to be built
Everybody enjoyed being able to come up with what their vision would be for a skatepark.
Asking the Mutitjulu community how they want the skatepark designed Skate Sculpture at a community session to find out what the local community thinks of the skatepark plans
Skate Sculpture will now compile all community input and present a final draft plan, as well as costings to enable funding and construction of Mutitjulu’s New Skateboard Park.
