Youth Activities for Wandi

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our pop up session on Wednesday 24 April. The final design was presented at the session - pictured above.

• The proposed design is intended to establish a suitably high quality beginner level jump track to both integrate with and compliment the existing park facilities at Honeywood Park, Wandi. With a limited budget, the design has been kept intentionally minimal so that the trail finish and overall build quality is achieved.
• The two jump line with a catch berm will provide beginner and younger riders a good introduction to jumping and allow them to grow in confidence and bike handling skills in a safe setting.
• The track and batters are to be 100% hard surfaced with either re/brown asphalt or polymer stabilised hard surfacing in order to minimise ongoing maintenance costs and provide longevity.

Works to the irrigation system are currently being attended too. Once these are completed we will be able to engage a contractor to build the jump track.

Calling young people, between 12 - 24 years, to join us for a BMX + MTB Airbag and Jump Coaching Session with Freestyle Now. Its at Honeywood Oval from 4pm - 6pm, Wednesday, 24 April and will be lots of fun. A free sausage sizzle will also be provided. For more information contact The Zone on 9236 4550 or email youthdev@kwinana.wa.gov.au

What a fantastic session at Honeywood Oval on February 7th. It was great to see so many young people engage with Freestyle Now and the Airjump session whilst also giving their feedback about the new Jump Track design. We had 25 young people aged between 12 and 24 take part.

Who will be the South Metro Champion?

BMX, Skateboarding, Roller-skating and Scooters.

The South Metro Ride and Roll Skatepark Series is a collaboration across four local government youth development departments from the City of Cockburn, City of Kwinana, City of Rockingham and the City of Mandurah. The series will involve each local government hosting a qualifier round at a local skatepark with the finals taking place at the Kwinana skatepark. Competitors will need to qualify to make it into the finals. The top three from each of the divisions from each of the rounds will earn a place in the finals at Kwinana skatepark. If by chance you have already qualified the next place down also qualifies. The numbers will be limited so be sure to register online. Helmets are compulsory in all competitions.

Calling all young people aged 12-24 years!

Bring your bike & come and join us at Honeywood Oval, Wandi from 3-6pm. Sunday 15 October

We’ve invited the Freestyle Now squad to host a free pop-up BMX/ Mountain Bike airbag jump coaching session. Participants will be able to learn new tricks, gain confidence, get some hints and tips and most of all everyone can have fun! All participants must wear helmets and closed in shoes.

Three Chillis Design will also be on site to chat to everyone about the new track and collect information on the essentials young people want in their jump/pump track (with consideration to budget and location) to make sure it is in line with community expectation.

The coaching session will cover all aspects of the sports, as well as equipment maintenance and personal safety issues. Equipment is checked prior to the participant’s involvement to make sure that it is in a safe condition and minor repairs or adjustments can be made if necessary. We do, however, reserve the right to not permit a participant to attend the workshop if we feel that their equipment does not meet safety requirements. All participants must wear helmets and closed in shoes.

Call 9236 4550 or email us for more information about the BMX + MTB Session.

The City now has a budget of $60,000 to build a Jump/Pump Track and have started Stage 1 of the process by engaging Three Chillis (Mountain Bike specialists) to engage with young people in the local area and draw up the concept design. The concept design will then inform Stage 2 - Jump/Pump Track Build.

We are organising a BMX & MTB Coaching Session, 3pm – 6pm Sunday, 15 October at Honeywood Oval. Freestyle Now will set up their mobile airbag jump and be on hand to teach skills. A flyer will be ready mid next week to share with all the information. While the event is on, the Three Chillis crew will talk to everyone and collect information on the elements young people want in their jump/pump track (with consideration to budget and location).
