Three years ago, a group of Aveley boys had a vision to establish a skate park in Aveley. One petition later, their skate park dream has become reality. BOREDOM is what originally inspired four young Aveley boys to walk the neighbourhood and petition for a local skate park.

Three years on from the conception of their idea to fight boredom, the Aveley skate park has become a reality and an instant hit.
The boys identified the need for the park on a hot summer day and walked the neighbourhood to get support for it.
City of Swan councillor Natasha Cheung facilitated getting their idea and petition to council.
From there, the City got the ball rolling and the boys were called back to help with the design of the skate park, which is also frequently used by scooters. The skate park opened three weeks ago and is already so popular there are jokes about starting another petition to extend it.
