Doesn’t really have that whole ‘skatepark’ feel to it, it’s more of a street spot than anything. Hips, banks, loads of random ledges and heaps of cool little lines. Super fun for mellow mess around sessions and games of SKATE. Directions Located on the West end of Ambleside Park, next to the beach.

Since then there has been a compact but fun street course built and a super fun little miniramp. Directions Heading down Chapel Street...

Still parks like this always seem to end up...

Not much of a street course but the Bowl is why you go there. 7foot – 6foot – 5foot mini spines into a 6foot semi kidney bowl that just begs to be torn apart. There are tons of lines and the coping, although a touch large, is set perfectly so long curving frontside grinds are where its at. Directions Head down Bong...
