Fast and hard with some hips, banks and quarters. Some of the features are a little tight but everything is skateable and there are definitely some fun lines and decent ollies to be had. Directions It’s on Greers Road off Wairaki Road.

Recently revamped with all the old wooden structures gone. Good open layout with a lot of fun lines. All the features are pretty mellow and some of the coping is a little sunken, but nothing to complain about. Pity about the old mini ramp being taken but its an overall improvement. Get there early to avoid the crowds or late to...

Well built park with good open layout and flow. Directions Now if only I could find the directions so you knew how to get there. Oh, here we go, Riverside Drive. Does that help?

Compact but well thought out addition to the old bowl. Everything skates pretty well and a good variety of features will keep you happy on those flat days. Directions Martyn Road, off Heatherington Road.

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.

An older park with a few newer additions. Not much to it really, the new grinder is definitely a start but the lump of concrete that is meant to be a pyramid is far too steep to be of any use. The older banks are great for busting fat ollies and tricks over though. Funny that. Directions New Brighton Beach.

Huge street style park with soo many features that it’s hard to do it justice with just a few photos and some words. Very open, very good, adjustable handrails and everything had a metal edge. What more can I say. Directions It’s down Eastend Beach.
