Armadale located in the southern suburbs of Perth has a long history dating back into the late 1850’s. Back then there was talk about a central location where people could gather and partake in activities on wheels. Fast forward to 2012 and the people in Armadale finally got their location for wheeled activities. The New Armadale skatepark has been a long time coming. The set up is a plaza style which is a first for the Perth area. The official launch takes place on Friday 17th February. The festivities kick off at 3:30pm and runs for two hours. The officials will do their official thing to make it all official and then it will be officially open. Once that has all taken place the Freestyle Now squad will be throwing down a demo and then an open coaching jam session will take place, with prize give-a-ways from Stowaway distribution, 4 Skateboard Co and Mutts scooters.
After the official opening there will be a series of coaching workshops open to all participants in Bmx, Skate and Scooter. All participants will be required to have a helmet. (If you don’t have a helmet then go buy one and protect your head, you only get one.) These coaching sessions will take place on a Thursday afternoon from 4pm to 6pm on the following dates:-
Thursday 23 Feb – Coaching Session 1
Thursday 1 Mar – Coaching Session 2
Thursday 8 Mar – Coaching Session 3
Thursday 15 Mar – Coaching Session 4
