Tuggeranong Skatepark
When it opened in the late 90’s Tuggeranong Skatepark was one of the best in Australia, an epic collection of vert and street beautifully positioned on the edge Lake Tuggeranong. That was a long time ago and although its still a lot of fun to skate, its time for an upgrade. The surface is showing its age, the coping is well beat up and its all just a bit sad looking.
The eclectic setup starts with a couple of unique half-pipe relics that have a cement base but a metal surface. The large one is around 12ft and the smaller around 8ft and while they are fast and furious the surface is full of kinks and dents and edges that stick out. There’s also a decent amount of rust and gunk – just like the bark rings of of tree Im sure it has captured a rich history, its just not the best surface to skate on. The street section is a series of 5-6ft quarters (including a spine) scattered around the perimeter as well as a small central funbox. There’s also a fun 3ft mini hiding up the back and a weird snake run thing that ends with a mini half-bowl… eclectic right? If you’re in Canberra its worth checking out, but there’s a lot more on offer at Belco and Woden
Located with in the grounds of the luscious Tuggeranong Town Park there’s plenty of amenities around including BBQ’s, a Leisure Centre, playground and plenty of free parking. You could probably even go fishing if you were really keen. A 10 minute walk south east takes you to ‘downtown’ Tuggeranong where you can find a decent feed and also Trilogy Skateshop for all your skateboarding hardware needs.

Playgrounds Park Warners Bay
Playgrounds Park is an impressive warehouse filled to the brim with skateboarding awesomeness. The park is spread fairly tightly over a decent sized warehouse and it all starts with a cracking 2.5ft mini (with hump). This thing is just perfect for anyone starting with transition skateboarding, a silky smooth surface with coping that sits beautifully. In fact it’s such a perfect mini that anyone can have great session just banging around, you really have to check this thing out – it’s that much fun.
Leading on from the mini is an L shaped plywood street section. It features a smattering of stairs, rails, quarters, banks and a euro and although it’s tight, it works well and links up beautifully with the Mini Bowl.
The Mini Bowl is like the bigger, more beautiful version of the mini ramp. Its about 3ft deep but includes a nice little extension at the far end. The coping is a little bigger and you certainly notice it more, but thats a good thing. The transitions are tighter and once again the surface is perfect (it’s called Skatelite, it’s amazeballs).
Beside the bowl are a couple of big dipper styled roll-ins, one looks about 1oft and leads to a soft rubber landing and some bigger transitions. The other scales around 15ft and leads to an epic foam pit. These are heavily geared towards scooters and BMX’rs, but there’s plenty of airs and grabs you can be working on – so check them out.
But wait, there’s more! Beyond the epic roll-ins and mini’s there’s an extra special 6ft half-pipe. Hiding out the back, away from the scooters and juniors lies the final piece of the puzzle, a wonderfully crafted half-pipe and given the limitations of the space it provides enough to keep the hardcore skater dudes more than happy. While it lacks the Skatelite surface (its plywood) it’s otherwise perfect in every way, and even though it doesn’t quite hit vert – its killer.
Oh, there’s also some impressive trampoline’s, a bunch of lounges and even a hangout area for the mum’s and dad’s… and the promise of much more to come. Limited free parking and plenty of amenities/food nearby make tis one awesome day out!
Chula Vista Skatepark
Eclectic skatepark loaded with all sorts of goodies. It looks as though it all started with a large cement based skatepark originally but over time has grown to now include a bunch of wooden half-pipes, minis and other various bits and pieces over time.
The cement part is made up of 3 sections. Firstly an amphitheater like arrangement of large transitions, banks and roll-ins from 4ft-8ft and plenty of vert extensions. They all surround a central pyramid shaped funbox that features rails, a hubba and an extended grind box. The perimeter is loaded with big staircases, banks, boxes and coping everywhere. The main street section also loosely leads to a much smaller, simpler set of banks 3-5ft with no coping and a basic 4 sided pyramid box in the middle. All good for the younger skaters. Completing the cement section is a beautiful old school bowl that goes from 6-9ft but also has interesting extensions in the shallow end. It’s quite small in size so the transitions are quick, but the surface is nice and fast and in good condition. Coping also sits nicely and is a good size.
Now the rest of the skatepark almost feels like a bit of a museum in some ways. An eclectic collection of old wooden structures that starts with a simple street setup and finishes with a monster half-pipe.
The street section is a few 3ft quarters leading to a little funbox wedge and finishing with a fun little mini (about 20ft wide). Adjacent to the mini is a larger 6ft mini (about 40ft wide) that had an extra foot of extension and some bad ass coping. Then right over the back is the 12ft vert half-pipe. Great setup and all lovingly looked after by a local dude who cares for and maintains all the wooden bits and pieces.
Amenities, parking, seating, shade, drinks, lockers, toilets. Great central plaza for chilling and watching.
Vans Skatepark
Stunning indoor/outdoor skatepark that is part of the huge Vans store in downtown Orange County. This is basically a huge warehouse so filled with skateparkery that it’s ridiculous to try and give every detail. But here we go…
The skatepark is broken down into four main sections:
Street: just a monster! So full of fast, smooth awesomeness. Banks of all shapes, sizes and angles. Perfectly placed transitions scattered throughout and of course rails, hubba’s, boxes and stairs all over the place. The vast range of shapes and sizes means its great for skaters of all ages and skills, and the sections are cleverly grouped to suit. Theres even a cracking little 3ft mini hidden around the back. It’s all epic.
Mini: A beautifully transitioned 6ft wooden construction with a couple of extensions that just hit vert. Once again the surface is beautiful and fast and the coping is slightly chunky but sits nicely. At about 80ft wide this is close perfect for this kind of ramp, so much room to maneuver and play around. Oh and one of the extensions also has chunky pool style coping.
Bowl: Trusty old school style cement pool with two levels. The shallow end starts at 6ft with a quick transition. The and deep end sinks to around 10ft. The coping matches the pool style roots and the surface is blisteringly fast. A solid skate.
Outdoor street: a smaller cement street section sits just outside the warehouse if you want to bask in the glorious Californian sun. It’s a basic setup with a…
Apart from the obvious awesomeness of this place it’s worth noting just how well maintained it is. Every surface is slick and fast. The entire operation is first class and this is a must see skatepark.
There’s a range of vantage points from which to view all the action as well as heaps of vending and game machines. Restrooms and lockers so you can really settle in here for a full day. The adjoining vans store is huge and full of Skateboarding booty to check out. It’s all part of a much larger shopping mall so there’s tonnes of parking, food and amenities around.
Skatelab Skatepark
Skatelab is not just a skatepark, it’s a homage to all things skateboarding. From the second you walk through the door you are surrounded by hundreds maybe thousand of previously thrashed decks that fill every available space on the walls and ceiling. Each deck representing a small piece of some skater’s journey… and also the broader story if skateboarding itself. Very inspiring and that’s just the hallway! keep walking and you arrive at an epic warehouse filled to the brim with awesomeness.
The park itself is broken up into 3 main areas; The small room, The big room and outdoor minis. The small room features a smattering of 3-5ft transitions and banks around the perimeter (including an epic vert wall ride) that all circle around a central flat that is littered with movable rails and boxes. At the far end there’s also a pyramid funbox that has a bunch of rails and ledges to slide and grind. This area has more of a street feel to it and the slick surfaces (painted blue) are fast and well maintained.
The main (big) room is immediately recognisable as its been featured in movies, commercials and even has it’s own TechDeck set! but its not for the feint at heart. A series of larger banks, roll-ins and transitions all perfectly positioned and lightning fast make up the main arena. The far end is home to a cracking pool-style bowl with beautiful transitions that start at 5ft in the shallow and hit 7-8ft in the deep. Rounding it all off is a monster wall ride that slingshots back down into the main arena and links it all up beautifully. Again the surfaces are impeccable and all the lips and coping are well looked after.
Head outside and you’ll find a couple of wooden mini’s. The day we were there only the small one was open, it’s about 2-half feet tall and its perfect for younger skaters just learning the basics of transition skateboarding. The surface and coping were a tad worn but that only added to the experience. It reminded me of some of the backyard mini’s I skated back in the day. The large coping is very forgiving so it’s great for learning those early lip tricks and rock-to-fakie’s
But wait, there’s more! Upstairs you’ll also find the Skateboarding Hall of Fame which has a mind blowing collection of skateboarding artefacts that capture the history of Skateboarding. Everything from early home made decks, toys and shoes through to trophies and used pro-decks from some of the greatest.
Apart from being a mecca for skateboarding there is also a pro-shop here that has all the supplies you’d need if something went wrong and the staff here are wonderfully helpful and happy to share a story or two about the Skatelab journey. There’s plenty of free parking, free Wi-fi and a well positioned lounge area for relaxing that all add up to make this one of the best skateparks we’ve been to. A must see!

Santa Cruz Skatepark
As a young skater the Santa Cruz name meant a hell of a lot to me. In fact my first pro deck was a Santa Cruz – Jeff Kendall (1986 Graffiti Model) and I still remember the day I got it after saving up for many many months… I couldn’t even set it up for the first few days I was so amazed to own it. Seriously! I mean check out this epic session from ” purchase online without prescription baclofen В· purchasing celexa buy lamisil online without prescription online buy albuterol: online pharmacies appear to be all over the net at presents, supplying their solutions and guaranteeing you there isn’t a much better location. Order Lamisil without prescription В· buy pillsВ Wheels of Fire“, it’s still amazing in every way (and the soundtrack is a cracker!) I must have watched it a thousand times. So it’s kind of a big deal just visiting this place. But enough about me… we were here to check out the skatepark!
Let me start by saying the Locals (yeah Caps on that) were truly awesome, so very welcoming and encouraging, especially for younger skaters. There’s a real sense of team spirit here – perhaps it comes from such a long and established skateboarding history.
So, some details. The skatepark is essential two separate parts, the old (the bowls) and the new (the street). The old part is and epic wonderland of bowls and old school pools ranging from 6ft-12ft and beyond (yeah it goes full 360° – if you’re into that). The transitions are perfect and well thought out and the coping is truly spectacular – its a joy just leisurely cruising around this place. But given the amount of amazing skaters that shred her, be prepared for it to explode with amazing sessions at any time.
The street section is a similarly cracking affair (Im lead to believe this is a relatively new addition to the skatepark). Its a basic end-to-end setup with a nice 6ft roll-in-bank at one end that leads to a series of perfectly designed ledges & banks that lead to a nice little set of stairs, handrails and hubba’s. All in all it sounds pretty stock standard, but everything here just blends perfectly… the transitions are spot on, the surface is blissfully smooth, the coping and edging is slick and the whole packing is just awesome.
Rounding things out at the far end is beautiful little bowl (yeah like 2ft little) that is so perfect for the kiddies who are still finding their feet, or just as much fun for those who just wanna go berserk on a nice little transitions with bitching coping. A lot of fun for all kinds of lip tricks.

There’s plenty of parking, a decent viewing area, bubblers and toilets. The day we were there we even spotted squirrel… for realz. This is one of those place you just have to hit.
The Shed Skatepark

A massive warehouse filled to brim with all kinds of ramps, transitions, banks, bowls etc. etc… it’s pointless to list them all (check the Brand or Generic Lamisil. Order Lamisil cheap. Purchase Lamisil in USA, UK, Europe, Canada and Australia. official site to get the details). The highlights would be the main bowl which is a near perfect 4-6ft transition that is so much fun to skate no matter what your skill level. The vast street course is a dizzying maze of banks, hubba’s, rails, spines and stairs that has to be seen to be believed. And If you’re into vert, the monster half-pipe standing at just under 14ft should keep you entertained.
The park is meticulously maintained and the masonite surfaces and coping on of all the ramps is nothing short of perfect – silky smooth and fast.
The Shed is also loaded with other facilities including: A skate shop with a great range of decks, safety gear and clothing. A kiosk with all the food/drinks to get you through a solid day of shredding. And an elevated viewing platform for the parents to hang out and get a birds eye view. There’s also lockers, bathrooms and plenty of free parking.
It’s a decent 1 hr drive from Melbourne but it’s certainly one of the premiere skateparks in Australia. Go!

Spotswood Halfpipe
Spotswood is home to a classic old steel vert half-pipe (very much like Prahran) . She stands around 12ft tall by our reckoning and has probably seen better days. The surface is looking a little old and battered (rusty) and has a few kinks in places, but that aside this is a decent enough vert ramp… I mean it is what it is. Vert skating is becoming somewhat neglected so its great to see these old monuments surviving and more than able to host a solid session. One thing’s for sure, you won’t have any trouble with scooter kids or BMX’rs here!

Switch Skatepark (Closed)
Located on the outskirts of Port Macquarie is this purpose built indoor skatepark. Filling a mid sized warehouse is a collection of transitions, minis, obstacles and banks of all different shapes and sizes.
The banks range from 3-6ft and there’s also a massive 9 footer that is mostly for the BMX’rs. The quarters are scattered throughout and mostly sit around 3-4ft some with coping others are just launch ramps. There are three minis, two of them are 3ft but fairly narrow, the main one is 5ft high, 25ft wide and has a couple of extensions including a vert section. The rest of the park is made up of boxes, angled banks, grand a small interchangeable street section.
Switch Skatepark has a lot of potential, but sadly the plywood surfaces haven’t been well maintained (especially the main mini ramp). There’s many uneven patches and the occasional nail sticking up. The coping is buried, crooked and generally in bad shape.
Despite all of this however a great session can be had, especially when it’s wet! It looks reasonably well used, mostly by local BMX’rs and scooter kids.
Plenty of free parking, well stocked canteen (hot food, drinks etc), amenities and even a chill out lounge.
Monster Skatepark
Monster is one of Sydney’s best known skateparks and features what is considered to be the best vert ramp in the country. It stands at a whopping 14.5ft high and spans 68ft across and features extension on one side and mega roll-ins on the other. It’s been skated by some of the worlds best skateboarders and is regularly used for international competitions. The big vert ramp forms part of the main outdoor area of the skatepark which also a cracking 6ft spined mini that has all sorts of extras including an 8ft extension, a 10ft over-vert extension and a bank section with rails on the wide platform. The surface is thick, super fast marine-ply but can be slippery and burns a bit when you slam. The coping is massive and not for the faint at heart. Both of these ramps are incredibly well built and maintained but it’s worth noting they really are for more experienced skateboarders.
Monster also features a massive indoor street course covering 1000 square metres. Its an interchangeable setup and is always moved around to keep things interesting, and is designed to cater for all skill levels. The ramps range from 3ft slow banks and roll-ins, 7-8ft quarters all the way up to 11ft vert. For the BMX’rs there’s even a big foam pit to test out some new moves safely.
They also have weekly timetable featuring ‘skateboard only’ sessions, run workshops for all ages, school holiday camps and you can even throw a birthday party here! Check out the official site for details. The park is loaded with facilities including a canteen (with hot food), a chill-out lounge, BBQ facilities (need to pay) and a decent skateshop. There’s parking available but you need to pay.
It’s kind of like a fun-park for skateboarders… and even if you’re just starting out you can have fun just sliding down the big vert ram on your butt or pumping on the flat bottom just to get a feel for just how awesomely big the ramp is.

Prahran Skatepark
Another classic Aussie skatepark that has been around forever, I remember seeing pictures of this half-pipe in magazines when I was a teenager! 14 ft of splendid vert metal that have been the home too many of this country’s finest vert skateboarders. You might even call this the original Monster. Prahran is an awesome inner-city skatepark that has a little something for everyone.
In detail; The half-pipe is a 14ft beast, solid steel, big coping, fast and a massive extended roll-in – its not for beginners! But you can always have fun on a quiet day just carving around getting a feel for it, or on busier days watching some amazing skateboarding going down. Epic.
Beside the big vert is a cracking little 5ft mini is a delight. It has smooth transitions with a nice little 6ft angled extension and coping that sits perfectly. A great little ramp for all skill levels – it reminds me a lot of the Glebe Mini.
Finally the skatepark also has an awesome street section which features a wide 2.5ft cornered bowl with a various banks and extensions. It also has an extremely versatile raised ledge with two sets of stairs (10 steps & 4 steps).
Add to that some rad locals who really made us feel welcome and you’ll understand why this is such a highly rated skatepark. Its surrounded by all kinds of amenities and services and even has a basketball court if you feel like shooting some hoops. Perfect!
Rutherford Skatepark
Rutherford scored itself is new skatepark that was designed and built by Convic in early 2010. It’s a strange skatepark due to the space it occupies and is made up of 2 sections that are linked by a footpath (that’s the strange thing).
The main section features a 4ft high, 20ft wide mini (with a 1ft extension), the transitions are surprisingly tight but the surface and coping are very smooth and its a fun ramp to skate. Just behind the mini is a smallish street section that has a quarter leading down to 3 different rails on a central bank and finishes with a cool banked hip. Rad!
The second section (just down the footpath) is a mini plaza featuring a 3ft quarter, manual pads, ledges, flat bars and a fast/steep 6 stair bank with hand-rail. Despite being a little small in actual area it’s an awesome little plaza no matter what your skill level, you just need to be able to pull up really quickly!
Heavily populated with BMX’rs, scooter kids and emo teens trying to look cool, but still plenty of room for skaters to do their thing. Its located right on the Pacific Highway so you can’t miss it and its part of a large shopping complex so you’re surrounded by plenty of parking, food and amenities. Easily one of the best skateparks in the area and well worth a skate!
Maitland Skatepark (old)
Many many years ago I was part of the community that fought very hard to get a skatepark in this town, an awesome skateboarding community joined together to make the council realise just how valuable it could be for the areas skaters. Many years later this is what we got… and while I’m glad this park still stands as a monument to our epic battle, I’d hardly rush there to skate.
It’s a basic 4ft cement mini, with 1ft extension running halfway along one side. The surface of this ancient beast has seen better days and the coping has been so beaten down by the BMX’rs that it feels like gravel. But that’s not to say you still couldn’t have a good session here, it’s like street skating but on a transition!
Just beside the main ramp are a couple of very strange additions. Firstly there’s a little bike path/snake-run with couple of humps. Then there’s a bizarre ramp-to-nowhere wedged into the side of the hill (most likely for BMX dudes I expect).
Plenty of parking, food and amenities nearby. But if you make it this far you really should had 10 minutes up the road and try Rutherford Skatepark.
Swansea Skatepark
Swansea Skatepark has to be seen to be believed, its a seriously epic skatepark and one of the best we’ve had the pleasure of skating so far. Part of its beauty is that was designed and built by Convic who continue to create stunning and thoughtful skateparks all over the country.
In detail, Swansea Skatepark was only finished in early 2011 and features a long list of banks, quarters and transitions ranging from 3ft – 5ft that create the outer rim of the park. The banks are littered with hips, euro-gaps and fast sliding ledges There’s also a 6-stair staircase with hubba ledges a pier 7 ledge. But wait that’s not all, to round out the North end of the park there’s also an epic 5ft bowl with stunning transitions and stomping coping. Just awesome!
The surface is slick and smooth and all the coping and steel edging fast. There’s a lot of BMX’rs and scooters there but equally as many skaters and at times it can get pretty chaotic… but you just have to deal with that.
Plenty of free parking around, amenities nearby and some impressive fish and chips down the road. When you’re done here, not too far away is another Convic special at Wallsend. Yes!
Waterloo Plaza
Waterloo is probably the best overall spot in Sydney, its a perfect combination of inner-city, new and old, rad setup, awesome locals and just a great vibe. Everytime! There’s nothing amazing here, a scattering of ledges, rails, banks, manual pads, stairs and blocks – but it just flows and the surface is smooth and fast.
The location (also known as Fernside) has a long skateboarding history and used to be home to a classic old steel half-pipe. A cut down version of that still remains beside the main plaza section and is still a lot of fun (its very similar to the Writing an essay Glebe Mini).
There’s a bunch of nearby parking (not free) and plenty of food/cafe’s and other amenities.

Frenchs Forest Half Pipe
Classic 10ft vert half pipe hidden out the back of a suburban baseball field. The wooden surface isn’t in great condition and its slippery as hell but a good place for the more serious vert skaters to have a bit of fun. Also a good spot for the noobs to get a feel for a nice size vert ramp – great for carving, pumping and trying vert drop-ins.
Be sure to take some supplies as there isnt much else around the park, although a short drive will get you back to civilisation, food, amenities etc.
