Sutherland Shire Council's Community Services Committee will discuss the Wanda skate park proposal tonight at a special committee meeting at 6.30pm.
There will also be presentations from residents and skaters.
Residents' spokeswoman Marilyn Urch said a skating facility was a good idea but the current open-plan concept was flawed.
"We'd rather see something like the Monster skate park at Homebush,'' she said.
"Even the skaters say they don't want a fixed design like at Menai and Engadine.
"A supervised facility like Homebush would be much better than an unsupervised site like Wanda that's more than 2km from a train station.''
A staff report to the committee said the council had two options.
"It can choose from the three options considered in this report... or it can abandon the proposal to provide a skate park in the eastern area of the shire,'' the report said.
The three sites under consideration are all within the Wanda area and were supported as preferred options by the council last year after more than a decade of discussions.
