Both Twizel and Cromwell have almost identical parks but the Twizel one wins as it as actually skateable. Cromwell is a bit of a joke. Directions Head for the swimming pool.

A few random wooden structures added to the permanent concrete features. Nothing really stands out but skaters are meant to be creative, right? Directions Tucked in behind the shops like they are trying to hide it.

An older park with a few newer additions. Not much to it really, the new grinder is definitely a start but the lump of concrete that is meant to be a pyramid is far too steep to be of any use. The older banks are great for busting fat ollies and tricks over though. Funny that. Directions New Brighton Beach.

4ft – 5ft – 6ft bowl area linked with spines and hips. Also a small street area with a pyramid, bank and rails. Lots to do but can get kinda busy as the whole area is not that big. Directions Located in Parkgate mall behind the Library.
