DEMOLISHED: Check the new park here. Waitangi Skatepark An unused patch of concrete right in the middle of town that skaters have made their own. It’s permanent features are a huge Quarter pipe, a crazy pyramid, an over used concrete grinder, a metal rail and the hardest, fastest mini I have ever seen. Everything else...

Newer park with lots of good hips and fun lines. The bowl section never really gets steep enough to grind the coping but otherwise still a fun park with good flow. Directions Take the Lincoln Road exit off the North Western Highway and its on the left just past Pizza Hut in Te Pai Park. Simple.

Super good park with one of the best kidney bowls I have skated. Some of the boxes around the outside of the park are a little hard to get to but the hips in the middle more than make up for it. Definitely worth checking out. Directions Look for the aquatic center and the library, It’s in between them.

Damn, a ton of lines and features. If only some of the grinders were a good length it would be unfaultable. Dope 4 foot bowl to rip around in too. Duds baby. Directions Just down the road from the octagon behind the train station.

Older park, the lefthand side starts in a tight snake run that leads into a decent 5 foot bowl. The Hourglass bowl has 5 and 6 foot sections joined by two hips. This bowl has crazy pool style transitions with mad vert. If you ever wanted to skate a backyard pool this could be as close as you get. Directions Located in Lynfield...

Small mini with multiple spines and roll-through’s leads onto a huge court scattered with benches and homemade grinders. Up the back is a fun kidney bowl, maybe a touch shallow, and the leftovers off all the concrete shaped into some sort of abstract shape. Directions Its located in Alfred Cox park off Grey Street.
