Kuraby

park halls of fame. This link takes you to the page about this day:

NEWS FLASH *****
Just
letting you know that Kuraby
park is now finished... and IT IS A RIPPER!!!!!!
How
to get there:
(From
the Street Directory: Map 1)
Train:
just get on the Beenleigh line and get off at Kuraby station and it is
within eyesight of the station itself.
Drive:
Off Beenliegh Road
in Wally Tate Park. (Coming past the station, cross the train line and
turn first left into the park and ride carpark, or if the park itself is
open, drive right up to beside the skate park and proceed to rip!)
Other
Notes:
Take
a broom and a lot of wax/file/spare set of
trucks, as this place is in need of a good coping grind down with concrete
still covering a lot of metal. There are still a lot of pebbles and the
concrete dust that you would usually find at a new park. I now have some
nice little pictures for you to look at. As there are six more, it is easier
for you to click on the link to see the individual pics.
There
is a big rail over the smaller box and another
following the shape of one of the offset pyramids, both well shaped and
a good truck width for grinds and slides. These pics were taken before
they went in.
This
place has had a lot of good skaters session
here and many happy words of praise for the designers, builders and anyone
who made this place what it is. To all of you... THANK
YOU!!!!!!
