An epic $8.1 million adventure hub is coming to Duncraig
Two construction tenders have been awarded for the design, supply and construction of an adventure hub in Duncraig.
Located at Percy Doyle Reserve, the Duncraig Adventure Hub is set to be completed in autumn 2025, and will include a skate park, bike track, multipurpose court, play space, barbecues and shaded hangout zones.
The development, which will transform the former tennis courts on Ron Chamberlain Drive, will also include toilet facilities, CCTV, lighting and landscaping, with over 1,500 native plants and 50 trees to be planted as part of the project.
Construction and design of the bike track component of the park has been awarded to Common Ground Trails, a Margaret River-based trail planning and design consultancy who have created bike trails all over Australia.
The skate park and facilities have been awarded to landscape architecture and design firm Phase 3 Construction, whose prior projects include Bob Gordon Reserve, The Basin redevelopment, the Busselton Foreshore, Scarborough Beach and Wireless Hill Memorial Park.

“The Duncraig Adventure Hub is much anticipated by young people in our community, particularly those living in the southern suburbs of our City,” said Joondalup Deputy Mayor Adrian Hill.
“Our Youth Recreation Strategy identified there was a need for youth facilities like this in the south, as our very popular facilities at Mirror Park Skate Park in Ocean Reef and Kinross Skate Park are a long way for young people to travel to.”
“This much-needed space will offer young people and the wider community an exciting place to build community and enhance wellbeing, with a particular focus on mental health.”
“Our City is committed to providing dynamic social spaces that foster community cohesion and enrich the lives of our youth and we are confident the Duncraig Adventure Hub will transform this space into a vibrant zone for young people.”
