Fun but hard to get used to. Built on a hill so there aint much flow, more of a one hit wonder park. Some crazy shit has gone down here although i don’t know how. Watch the locals for ideas as they have the whole place dialed. Directions

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.

Fast and hard with some hips, banks and quarters. Some of the features are a little tight but everything is skateable and there are definitely some fun lines and decent ollies to be had. Directions It’s on Greers Road off Wairaki Road.

Sweet little park, lots of open space and some random features make it pretty fun but there’s not too much flow. There are some lines but the placement of obstacles seems pretty random.

Recently revamped with all the old wooden structures gone. Good open layout with a lot of fun lines.

Get there early to avoid the crowds or late to...

Im sure there are some better lines in the mounds than the ones we found and the mini’s are also of an interesting shape. Not hard to have fun here but you will need some imagination. Since this photo there has been additions to the street section. Directions Next to the water tower, Albion Street.
