Our Favourite Skate Parks
There's a lot to love about the Tassie skating scene.
From the classic old favourites, to the new parks popping up all over the state. More and more, the local Governments are investing funds into new facilities. We encourage you to partition your local Council for a commitment to build the next local park.
These are some of our all time local favourites.
Southern Tasmania
Rosny
Bastick Street, Rosny Park
A modern park with a bit of everything, rails, ledges, hubbers etc, 11 foot bowl, park also has lights. A 'must see' park in Southern Tasmania.
West Hobart Bowl
John Dogget Park, West Hobart
This is the second oldest skatepark in the Southern Hemishphere, long snake run into a big old bowl. Pro Skater Bob Burnquist rates it in his top 5 parks and it's had everyone from Alva to Tony Trujillo skate the place. It's old, its rough, its heaven!
EC Skate Park
North Hobart Cultural Park
An absolute Tassie Icon, with a bit of every thing and still pretty good for its age. This place has seen a lot of action and competitions over the years.
Tolosa Park
Tolosa Street, Glenorchy
Plaza style, built well and very fun (full of kids on the weekends due to the being in a reserve with bbq areas, etc). So if wanting to avoid the crowds then weekdays or late nights in the summer are best.
Taroona
Chiton Chase, Taroona,
A fun park, not built that well but still fun and in a great location.
Kettering
Channel Highway, Kettering
A good bowl, street section is all a little tight but if down that way worth a check. If you're heading to Bruny, as it's worth stopping at as its just before the ferry.
Cygnet
Burtons Reserve, Cygnet
This is waaaay down south but a little cracker of a skate park when your down that way.
Bruny Island
School Road, Alonnah
In an amazing spot, this park has a nice bowl with a pool coping and some street obstacles around the outside. Be sure to head over to the pub for some amazing seafood and a beer, with a stunning view.
Dover
Main Road, Dover
A fun little park, way down south. Plenty of boxes, ramps and street elements.
Nubeena
Main Street, Nubeena
A very well built, small bowl with some boxes and street elements up top.
East Coast
Scamander
Scamander Ave, Scamander
Fun park on the East coast of Tassie overlooking the beach. Pack your surfboard, as there can be plenty of waves around.
St Marys
Groom Street, St Marys
With a population of about 600 people, St Mary's is lucky enough to have one of the states best parks...!
Northern Tasmania
Royal Park Launceston
Paterson Street, Launceston
The only park in Launy that's worth skating. Pretty cool plaza set-up, bowl and graffiti area.
Hadspen Park
16 Main St, Hadspen
A fun little park with a collection of street elements, rails and ramps.
Devonport
The Bluff Road, Devonport
On the beach with something for everyone, ledges, hips, rails and a big vert wall, another must if in Tassie.

Anne Street
A small plaza style park, that's plenty of fun with street elements and ramps.

This is one of Tassies newest and greatest parks, recently upgraded and incoperating a near by pump track.
Burnie
Bass Highway, Burnie
A well built park with a bit of everything, located at a great spot on the beach.
Sister's Beach

A bit of a hidden gem. This is a cool little park hidden in the northern part of the state.
