About the Business
Welcome to Holborn Park, a one-of-a-kind establishment and tourist attraction located in the vibrant community of Berkeley, South Wollongong, Australia. Situated in a prime waterfront location on Lake Illawarra, Holborn Park offers a unique experience that combines the beauty of nature with the thrill of skateboarding.
Inspired by the rich historical and contemporary industrial culture of the area, the Holborn Skate Plaza within the park features iconic and distinctive skate elements. This carefully curated design pays homage to the region's heritage while providing skaters of all levels with an exhilarating and challenging environment.
Despite the challenges posed by the high water table levels, the dedicated construction team successfully created a facility that has become both a popular destination and a valuable community asset. Holborn Park has quickly become a gathering place for skateboard enthusiasts, locals, and visitors alike, offering endless opportunities for outdoor fun and recreation.
Holborn Park is not just another skate park; it is a testament to the passion and dedication of the community. After seven years without a city skate park, the opening of the new Adelaide City Skate Park was warmly embraced by skaters in the area. This recognition speaks volumes about the impact and importance of skateboarding in the community.
Furthermore, Holborn Park has received accolades for its outstanding urban design. The Glebe Skate Plaza, designed by Convic, has been honored with an Urban Design award from AILA NSW Australian Institute of Landscape Architects. This recognition highlights the park's transformation of a once privately owned concrete storage yard into a stunning and vibrant recreational space within Sydney's public realm.
Convic, the renowned design and construction team behind Holborn Park, continues to make waves in the industry. Their recent creation, the South Eveleigh Youth Space, has been awarded the prestigious National AILA Award in the Urban Design Category. This recognition further solidifies Convic's commitment to creating innovative and inspiring spaces for youth and communities across Australia.
Whether you are a skateboard enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply looking for a unique and exciting tourist attraction, Holborn Park is the perfect destination. Come and experience the thrill of skateboarding in a picturesque waterfront setting, where history, culture, and recreation seamlessly blend together.
