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.
Upper Hutt Skatepark

Damn this place is sick. Plenty to do with lots of banks, rails, ledges, stairs, gaps, hips and the bowl. It’s probably a good thing that its all the way out in Upper Hutt, else it would be forever crowded. Directions Behind the train station, don’t go over the bridge.

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.

Both Twizel and Cromwell have almost identical parks but the Twizel one wins as it as actually skateable. Cromwell is a bit of a joke. Directions Its under the fruit.

Concrete crazyness. Quarter pipes, banks, rails, ledges, something for raw, tech, young and old. More than worth the visit. Directions River Road, west of 2nd Bridge.

Lots of smooth lumps make for unlimited super fast lines. Hips aplenty, some ledges around the edges of the bowls but basically pump it and pop it up. Directions On 6th Street, Moody Park, New Westminster.
