Bonnells Bay Skate Park may be one of the smaller skate parks, but plenty is happening around it to make a visit worthwhile. You’ll find this park located on the same site as the playground, sports courts and Youth and Community Centre. It’s an easy spot to combine skating or scooting with plenty of other activities. Pack the skateboard, scooter or BMX and head to Bonnells Bay for some outdoor fun. It’s a handy local spot for kids to practise their skills, build confidence and burn energy while enjoying the surrounding park facilities.
Getting to the skate park
Look for the turn into the car park at 275 Fishery Point Road, Bonnells Bay, where you’ll find a small number of parking spaces close to the skate park. There’s a shelter, basketball courts and toilets on site, although the toilet facilities are fairly basic. The great thing about this spot is that everything is close together to keep an eye on the kids. You’ll also find a great playground nearby, along with Bonnells Bay Reserve, a large open grassed area that can be hired for events, parties or community activities. With plenty of space to spread out, it’s an easy spot to combine a visit to the skate park with some outdoor fun.
What’s at the skate park?
This modular, local-level skate park packs plenty into its space. With six-foot quarter pipes, six-foot flat banks, and a fun box to keep riders moving. It’s a handy spot for kids and teens to practise their skills, work on their ascents and descents, and have a go at a few new tricks. Whether they’re just starting out or already confident on wheels, there’s something here for different levels. And while plenty of local skate parks are covered in graffiti, this one gets a little creative, with colourful street art decorating the ends of the pipes and giving the park its own personality.
