Harden skate park construction has commenced with the arrival of the contractor this week. The successful contractor, Precision Skate Parks, expects the construction to take 6-8 weeks from the commencement of work, weather permitting. The gentlemen were busy undertaking some set out work and levelling of the site on Monday whilst light rain fell. Meanwhile the Skatepark Committee is undertaking a fund raising drive to provide a skateboarding school to be held once the construction has been completed. Tickets for the raffle will give punters the opportunity to win one of five $100 Caltex fuel cards. The Committee would like to thank South West Fuel. Tickets are available at Athair, the Barnes Store, Bendigo Bank, Harden Shire Council’s office and Jackson’s Bakery and Cafe.
