🌿 A ripper spot for skaters, but watch out for some dodgy new bits, mate!
Cobden Skatepark offers a mix of old and new skateboarding features, attracting local skaters keen for a roll. The older sections like the mini ramp and bowl are praised for decent surfaces and fun proportions, making them popular with experienced riders. However, recent renovations have been met with disappointment due to poor concrete finish and oversized obstacles that challenge beginners. This spot suits skaters who appreciate classic ramps but might frustrate those hoping for smooth, modern transitions. Families with budding skaters should check out the older areas while keeping expectations realistic about the newer additions.

⭐ What Makes This Park Special
Skatepark Fun for the Locals 🛹✅
Cobden Skatepark is a go-to spot for local skaters, especially those who know their way around the ramps. The older half of the park, including a small mini ramp and a bowl, gets a thumbs up for having better surfaces and fun proportions that make skating enjoyable. While the new parts might be a bit tricky for beginners due to tall ledges and awkward transitions, the classic sections still offer a solid place for kids and teens to practice their moves and have a good arvo rolling around.
Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting ⚠️
Recent renovations at Cobden Skatepark have left some locals a bit miffed. The new concrete finish is rough and more like a footpath than a skate surface, which can make skating less smooth. Some obstacles, like the spine and flat bar, are too tall or have awkward angles, making it tough for beginners to learn. If you’re bringing young or novice skaters, it’s best to stick to the older parts of the park. A bit of patience and a heads-up about these quirks will help you make the most of your visit.
💬 What Visitors Are Saying
- The old half of the skatepark… has a better surface and decent proportions.
- The new transition… was NOT done by an actual skatepark builder.
- The finish of the concrete is shameful, more akin to that of a footpath.
- The flat bar… is way too tall so beginners can forget about learning anything on it.
- After rolling around the new part once, I then had quite a bit of fun skating the small old mini ramp at the back.
