South Newcastle Skate Park will be launched onto the world stage when the Jackalope Block Party rolls into town in November with support from City of Newcastle’s Special Business Rate (SBR) funding.
Being held outside North America for the first time, the iconic festival will feature elite athletes competing for big prizes, skateboarding demonstrations, live DJ sets and food trucks.
But the free community event will also uncover local talent, giving Novocastrians the chance to win a trip to compete in the USA.
