Welcome to: Benny's Brisbane Skateboard Directory The site for skaters in Brisbane, Australia Compiled by Mark Brimson     Cannon Hill Skate Park   Completed: June 1999   * How to get there: (From the Street Directory: Map 1) As far as I can recall, the park is beside Wynum Road in the Murarrie Recreational Ground. There is a road that leads through the reserve area that goes right by the skate park and there is no shortage of parking spots.   * Things you should know: So far, this is a very straight forward little place. The local council are giving it a trial as is and possibly extending it in the future, (even as much as twice its existing size) if nobody destroys or vandalizes it. The park is triangular in shape with four things to skate on. 1: A flat rounded bar a foot from the ground. 2: A small single hipped bank at the apex of the triangle. 3: Something small and rounded which just looks like a concrete bump where nothing else seemed to be good. 4: (saving the best for last) At the bottom of the triangle, there is a small half pipe with very tight transitions - even a bit of vert in one place - that hips onto a quarter that faces the rest of the park. The back transition of the half pipe has a bit of platform and then a facing the rest of the park is a good size bank on the left and a quarter that runs almost to spine with the half pipe. This is all put together on a concrete composite flat which makes it very fast so there is no need to kick at all. When I went there, they had not put in any water taps, shade or toilets, but there was some construction going on near the park, so we can live in hope. All in all it is a nice little place to have a few runs, but could get really hectic when there are too many people there.   *****   email me at:   mbrimson@yahoo.com   Click the "BACK" button to return to the previous menu.
