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?

The super smooth concrete just got bigger with the second stage of this park now completed. The mellow mini ramp section now flows into an openly spaced street course with step ups, step downs, hips, banks, ledges, shit everything you need. Stay a while.

The bowls on the other hand are sick. 4ft joining both 5 and 7ft bowls. Super smooth and good coping all the way round. Tons of speed lines allow you to drop in a rip around all the bowls until...

Newer park with lots of good hips and fun lines. The bowl section never really gets steep enough to grind the coping but otherwise still a fun park with good flow. Directions Take the Lincoln Road exit off the North Western Highway and its on the left just past Pizza Hut in Te Pai Park. Simple.
