Australia is fast becoming a great place to be a skateboarder. But why? Well, over the last few years skateboarding has grown exponentially in ‘the land down under’ which has resulted in the construction of many new and extremely awesome skateparks.

The design of skateparks in this country have come a very long way and it seems rare that a bad skatepark ever gets built in Australia anymore, especially when there are great companies like Victorian based Convic Skateparks leading the charge!

Once upon a time, it was only the big cities like Melbourne or Sydney that were blessed with new skate facilities but now they are popping up in many suburbs and even in some of the most rural and isolated places.

If you have ever wondered where the best skateparks in Australia can be found, be sure to have a gander at this list which offers helpful information on skatepark location, design, and all other necessary information you might be curious about.

The rest of the skatepark is made up of street elements such as bank ramps, flat ledges, manual pads, wallie-on curved flat bar, flat bar with an up on the end, slappy curb, and quarter pipes. The concrete here is silky smooth and luckily this skatepark is lit up at night by some big lights. It doesn’t get much better then this!
