Drouin's skate park came alive on Wednesday afternoon during a Latrobe Streetgames skateboarding session.
GippSport's Streetgames partnered with YMCA Action Sports All Aboard Skateboarding Sessions to deliver the program, which helped locals learn and improve their skateboarding skills.
Equipment was provided, and the first half of the event was tailored to primary school ages, while the second half was a bit more advanced for secondary school students and adults.

These sessions have been run all over Gippsland to encourage people to get active and try something new.
YMCA Action Sports Operations Director Matthew Brett said skateboarding has increased in popularity since the 2020 Olympic Games.
"We like to give people the opportunity to try non-traditional sports... to come to the park, do something new they've never done in a safe environment with experienced coaches," he said.
"After the Olympics, it has just popped off, it's massive. We want to give people that opportunity and get some more Australians into the Olympics."

Mr Brett said the session primarily targets children aged five to 12, however, they are encouraging secondary school-aged children to get involved too.
GippSport's Youth Sport Coordinator Den Lim said Streetgames are honoured that YMCA has partnered with them for the Gippsland portion of the nationwide program.
Ms Lim said there is demand for the program across Gippsland, which has prompted the organisation to recruit another six staff members across the region. Some of the staff attended the session at Drouin skate park. They spent time supporting participants and learnt a few new skateboarding skills as well.

Ms Lim said skate parks are a popular spot for young people to congregate across Gippsland.
"Councils are much more aware of the interest in skateboarding in communities, there is a lot more investment that has gone into skate parks," she said.
"If you jump around to all the skate parks you see young people gathering all the time, it's a really inclusive space."
