π¬ What Visitors Are Saying
- It's a cool little park. It's a shame that the tunnel from the parking and skatepark itself isn't adequately lit despite having lighting available.
- Overall, it is a well-kept skatepark with cool art and a few different obstacles to hone skills on.
- Nice clean place. Next to the really nice and the skate park is the entrance of the free Palmerston Water Park.
- The tunnel is pretty good for filming skateboarding or rollerblading footage.
- Great clean place the tunnel is always a hit with the kids plenty of different ramps half pipes griding rails heaps of room.

- This location is in a good location as it has a lot of parking and is really close to places like the university and McDonalds ect.
