"BOYNE ISLAND SKATE PARK COMMUNITY BENCH"
ARTIST:
LAUNCH DATE: June 2026
This artwork is inspired by the young artist’s friends and the local animals at the Boyne Island Skatepark. It features a swooping magpie wearing cool sneakers and a kangaroo dressed in Crocs to represent the kids who ride, scoot and skate here every day.
Using bright, happy colours, the artwork captures the fun and energy of life at the skatepark.
The bench is made from recycled plastic by Replas - Recycled Plastic Products and aims to minimise the amount of plastics ending up in landfill & in our precious waterways

With a special thank you to the Boyne Tannum Men's Shed for the assembly and installation of the bench.
