THE Mareeba skate bowl has had a facelift with Cairns artist Daniel Wallwork turning the popular spot into a “street style art” mural.

The mural was designed in alongside with young people from Mareeba and is based on central themes of sunshine and rivers.

The bowl, which was originally grey and graffitied on, has already attracted many new young skaters to hang out with their friends and show off their moves.

The project is grant funded through the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) which is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Mareeba Shire Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
