With only three features this place is small but more fun than watchin models mud wrestle. I’m going back for more. Directions Oxford Street, behind the playground.

Two wooden mini ramps, the larger is around five foot with a good trannie but not too much in the width department. Still one of the better mini’s in Dunedin though. The smaller ramp is almost too mellow but you can still have fun on it. Together these ramps gear you up for a progression session, learn on one then take it...

Nice park extension to the existing mini ramp. Some of the banks are a little steep but there are some fun lines and a good grinder. Great for those windy days as it is pretty sheltered Directions If you are coming into Island Bay from town it\’s at the bottom of the hill opposite the sports fields.

UPDATE: Fully rebuilt and epic. Super fun mini ramp that just makes you learn new tricks. I’ve learnt a ton of tricks on this ramp and have seen some amazing things go down. Vert ramp is fun as well, try the transfers and extensions, it’s all good. Directions Not really in Karori as such. Down the hill back toward...

Fun little five foot mini with some super dodgy coping. Crazy concrete and brick street area for some jibbing practice. Directions Next to the swimming pool.

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...

Fun little mini ramp. shit everything about this place is mini. Mini coping, mini ramp, mini park. Have you seen the park? Like WTF. Crazy little mini park where everything is built for toddlers or smurfs. Hence all the prams and training wheels. Has a kindergarten feel to it and would work better as a drain or sandpit than a...

I thought this mini ramp was meant to be a replica of Greylynn, but it aint. Not even close. Small and tight but still very skateable. Directions Just keep driving, you cant miss it.
