The legacy of Cassy Jones has grown even stronger following the recent completion of the Cassy Lives Skate Park upgrade.

Council undertook extensive community consultation prior to redesigning the skate park – firstly in October and November 2019 to understand the community’s needs and priorities regarding the skate park and again in July and August 2020 – with the latter offering the community a chance to vote on their favourite design.
