Fun little park even if the funbox is a touch steep. Some cool lines and a nice warm glacier fed river to cool off in. Directions Right next to the shops, Nairn Street.

Super smooth ‘street’ style park with ledges, rails, gaps, a pyramid and metal park benches. Bright flood lights make skating an option anytime and Mc D’s is right across the road. Directions Easy to find as it is smack bang in the middle of town. Well worth the stop.

Pretty basic park but works quite well. Try not to knock over too many kids on scooters, just enough of them to teach their parents not to bring them back. Directions Just over the Avalon bridge off the Hutt Highway.

Fun little parks with a ton of random shit everywhere. The mini ramps are a little tight and the layout of the place can leave you guessing at lines but all in all its pretty fun and everything but the mini’s are very skateable. Directions Just over the Harbour Bridge (heading North) take the Birkenhead/Northcote exit,...

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...

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.

It’s just a huge expanse pf concrete and not that much else. Some pretty fun stuff and a way better way to pass the time while waiting for the ferry than acquiring food poisoning from the dodgy chippers. Directions You pass it on the way to the ferry

Pretty basic park, probably not all that much thought gone into it. Fun little taco thing at one end but the best feature was the ‘Skatepark’ sign. Of course the council saw that people were having too much fun so they blocked off the run in. Directions In the middle of some huge park just off the main road.

Practically flawless apart from a pretty outrageous Kinker thingy. Directions Heading North take a left at McD’s, left again and its on your left.
