The Ballarat Regional Skate Park attracted more than 250 kids for the youth skate event to end Community Safety month.

Ballarat bands 23rd of Elvis, The Summerians and Brand X played through the day as event organiser and Ballarat Youth resource officer Leading Senior Constable Des Hudson announced it a success.

"We ran one in April with the concept of bands, a barbecue and buses for the kids," Sen Const Hudson said.

"It was full of tricks and jumps by BMX riders and skaters and began a conversation about running this on a regular basis through summer."

Sen Const Hudson said the first idea for the event was a chance conversation between police and a service station attendant who was in a band.

"We talked about the concept, piloted it in April and a lot of bands were keen to get back in touch," he said.

"We planned one in June that got rained out, but this was a great event for all, with enthusiastic parents and a lot of others getting interested.

Sen Cons Hudson thanked the bands for taking part and the State Emergency Service for volunteering on the barbecue.

"It is a genuine community event," he said.

"It showcases the great venue on offer and a lot of great footage and photos were taken."
