Read on for all of the cool details …
Say hello to Skate Paradise, Paradise Centre’s pop-up school of skate that’s ready to teach grommets some gnarly skills on four wheels. Kids can fasten their helmet and kick off their skating story at a range of free skateboarding clinics hosted by the local crew from Rock ‘N’ Slide Skateboarding, at 11:00 am, 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm daily. Held in the beachfront dining precinct on The Esplanade, these ten-spot classes are suitable for children aged four through to 12, and all equipment is supplied! Bookings are mandatory and open on Thursday June 1 here. Bonus – every workshop participant will receive a free drawstring skate bag, plus an entry into the draw to win one of four Fast Times Skateboarding skateboards. From 12:00–4:00 pm, head up to level one near Zone Bowling and check out the Paradise Parlour, which is full of family-friendly fun. Youngsters can get a temporary tattoo applied and free fairy floss will be on hand for a post-skate treat.
