IMPORTANT UPDATE
30.03.20
Dear friends –
We share your concern regarding COVID-19 and want to assure you we are doing everything possible at City of Darwin to keep you safe.
It is with great sadness that we have to cancel our Youth Week skate programming including Skate Night, Pre-Heat and Street Heat.
We apologise and hope to see you back in the park when our skate programming resumes.
We hope you are able to keep up your practice solo even if we can’t skate together.
Don’t forget to tag @LAUNCHdarwin and use #skatedarwin on any pics and videos you share. We’d love to see what you get up to during this time apart.
It’s the first skate comp for 2020! Watch as local shredders compete for prizes. Feeling keen? Then come down and have a go!
There are sections for open and junior divisions. Eager to eat up the excitement that comes with skating?
Spectators are welcome to relax in the shade to cheer on the skate community. There will also be food for sale and free art activities available. Stay updated to find out more.
Hosted by Renton Millar from the Australian Skateboarding Federation. PLUS! Come warm up and hang out at Pre Heat the night before.
Saturday April 18 | 3-6 PM | Jingili Skate Park | Free + just show up!
