Morawa is a very small town about 400kms north of Perth, Western Australia. When some of the town children asked for a skatepark the town had a meeting with some keen parents and councilors. Karen Chappel was at the meeting as she had a 13 year old son who wanted to have a skatepark. Karen is now the shire president and her son is now 31 years old. Yes it took 18 years for Morawa to get a skatepark. Finally the youth of the area have a place to shred. On the 10th of November, Freestyle Now headed up to Morawa to help celebrate the opening day with a coaching jam session. The opening ceremony took place and then it was down to business of letting the radness flow. A big thanks to the Shire of Morawa for the day as well as our supporters, Stowaway distribution, 4 skateboard Co and Sacrifice scooters.
