Skatepark design and Layout
The skatepark is a series of irregular bumps and slopes from the original design, with some new features added by the community:
- some quarterpipes,
- a flat bank hip,
- a ledge and
- a rail.
Learning features
The skatepark has very little level ground so can be challenging for beginners. There is a path outside that can be used for learning the basics however. Once you can push and carve, you can get into the skatepark and use some of the more mellow slopes to learn to cruise and learn to pump the bumps – which is the most fun of all.
The quarter-pipes and transitions are quite tight and steep, so aren’t the best for learning to kickturn or drop in.
Amenities
There is a playground next to the skatepark to keep the little ones busy. There are no toilets.
