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.
Capital Skatepark (Closed)
Update: Sadly Capital Skatepark is now closed. View more info on the new location here
Grungy little warehouse about 20 minutes south of Austin. Its grungy in every sense of the word, rough as guts, kinky, rusty, rundown etc but thats also what makes it so damned good. No posers here, just passionate skaters who brave intensely hot summer conditions to do what they love. The day we stopped by the place was scattered with a dozen or so dudes just tearing it up, great to watch – even if i did loose 2 litres of body fluid just sitting there watching the awesomeness.
So the setup is fairly minimal with the main feature being the end-to-end run with a few banks and rails along the quick journey. At the end it’s got a 12ft wall ride to spring you back to the start like a human pinball. There’s also a bank of 4-5ft transitions that run down to some smaller fun-boxes, rails, wedges and a hubba. Right up the back there’s a neat 3ft bowl that’s a lot of fun once you work out where the rough patches are.
All of the surfaces are masonite and have been well and truly worn in, there’s some home court advantage for the locals who know exactly where the good lines are. The coping is similarly worn but ya know what? None of it matters that much. You turn up at Capital Skatepark, sign a waiver, slap down $15 and then just get down to some skateboarding.
Open from 3-11pm in the summer but be sure to check their site before you make the trip. There’s also a little skate shop, some basic vending and restrooms. Great bunch of locals who just come here for one thing. Awesome.
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!
The Shed Skatepark

Â come to mind) but The Shed is easily the best. 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!

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.

Rampfest Skatepark
Rampfest is a relatively large purpose-built, plywood indoor skatepark. It features a wide range of large quarters and mini-ramps (4-7ft), a beautiful 5ft bowl, small spined section, various banks and a massive roll-in that leads to a big quarter and foam pit.
Its a fairly solid park and great in the wet weather, but its certainly not for the faint at heart. Most of the ramps are big, the coping is chunky and the plywood surface takes a little getting used to. The design is OK and you can carve out some decent lines, but the surface is a little slow. Rampfest is heavily dominated by BMX’rs and scooter kids who whiz about with little care, it can get chaotic and skaters need to be very aware of whats going on around you or you can get nailed.
A cafe/canteen and skateshop are also part of the skatepark so parents can chillax in comfort away from the noise. It’s about $10 for a 4hr session and you need to fill out an online waver form before you can skate (which can take 10-15mins if it’s busy on the day).
Ring of Fire Skatepark
Well Im sure at some time in history this was an amazing skatepark, but what remains is nothing but remnants of the past. This may even be closed by now as its genuinely a fire/safety hazard. We did manage to at least get in and take some photos tho most of it was un-skatable at the time.
What used to be there was 2 levels of indoor skateboarding awesomeness. The main feature would probably be the wooden bowl upstairs the had a 5ft shallow end transitioning up to 8ft at the deep end. Complete with pool style coping and a vert wall – beautiful! Alongside that was cracking little 3ft mini with an extension that looked perfect to jam tricks on.
The second floor featured a hacked together wooden street course with all kinds of banks, rails, funboxes and quarters. It looked like a lot of fun, but the ceiling was low and surface fairly slippery. We did manage a bit of a skate here but the wooden surface was pretty hacked up and needed to be fully redone.
While we didn’t really get to skate the Ring of Fire, I’m really glad we did get to at least see it, I can imagine this was the spot years ago. Great to be able to capture a piece of history before it’s gone.
Slam Factory
Slam Factory is an impressive indoor wooden skatepark located on the Central Coast of NSW. Its one of the very few indoor skateparks anywhere near Sydney (the other main option would be Monster cheap zoloft. home; chi siamo; dove … pages: zoloft online, order zoloft, generic zoloft, buy zoloft online, purchase zoloft online, purchase zoloft online, buy … buy nexium from a secure online pharmacy. viamedic.com offers a convenient way to treat acid reflux heartburn (gerd) with nexium. essay in order ). The current park includes a warehouse full of boxes, quarters, rails and roll-ins that are continually changing and transforming as the park is constantly being added to. There’s also a rad little 3ft & 2ft mini with extensions and right up the back is an epic 6ft foot bowl with nine and a half foot vert extension.
The surfaces are all masonite and are slick and fast, the coping varies but is all well maintained. The bowl is especially nice and looks like it has some rad sessions going down with the talented locals.

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.
