Rating: ***** Detail: Cairns, at 2300m2, is the biggest skatepark in Australia and integrates with the Cairns Esplanade and foreshore. It features a small 4-5ft clover bowl with rounded hips and pockets. The big bowl has a square 6ft shallow end and 7ft deep end. The bowl has an over vert corner, half pipe whip section and a vert wall ranging from 8ft -10ft (topped with pool coping) that snakes between the 6 and 7ft sections. In the middle of the bowl is a cradle, mogul and a three sided tombstone. Heaps of transfers as the bowl wraps around itself, but it can be tricky to get lines straight off, gotta work it out! The 2000m2 of skateable Plaza is essentially a collection of intersecting paths that cross each other to create session spots. Long runs with ledges, rails, banks, stairs and gaps all over the place. Heavily landscaped areas between the paths; which is ideal for escaping the northern heat. A shelter is located near the big bowl and at night the lights come on. Thanks Darren & Julie Bertsos for the pics.

Stookie : Of all the skate park comments you have made, 'ridescooters', there has not been one valid word you have said about any skate park. No one gives a shit about where you're going or what grip tape you have on your scooter. Next time, give a meaningful comment or go away. blogie77 : this is a mad park Grumpy Gumby : THAT is A MADASS PARK!!!
