Welcome to: Benny's Brisbane Skateboard Directory The site for skaters in Brisbane, Australia Compiled by Mark Brimson     Peregian Skate Park   2-3hrs north of Brisbane   Built: stone age   Address: Kingfisher Dr (beside shops and S.L.S.C.)   The old donut bowl on the beach front at Peregian is one of the oldest skateparks on the Sunshine Coast. From Brisbane, it is a fair drive, just following the coastal road to Noosa, and when you find the small shopping centre at the beach, the skate park is not far away. Being on Kingfisher Drive (beside S.L.S.C.) in a park where there is only trees and picnic tables, most of the bowl is in the ground, but still easily seen from the road if you are driving by. There is a tap on site, toilets and food/drink shops nearby, but the place is in the full sun for most of the day.   A little story was once told about the Peregian Bowl, going something like this: They wanted to have a unique obstacle in the middle and at the time, all the comps in the USA were using an old car wreck to do things on and over, so what they got was an old VW Bug, set it in place and poured the concrete around and over it, giving all of us the construction we see and skate today. In its long life, the bowl has been resurfaced at least once, to my knowledge, and had numerous paint jobs, murals, graf art and anything else that ends up all over the walls and flat of a skate ramp. As previously stated, it is in a giant donut shape, all of it rounded lipped (it does not grind anywhere), the curves a combination of transition and bank, good now for flips if you like a challenge or doing them on quarters, and the whole thing is on a slope, going from big end, 8ft, to small end 3-4ft deep, with the flat bottom being flat the whole way round.   (Pics coming soon)     email me at:   mbrimson@yahoo.com ***** (click here to send me mail) *****   Click the "BACK" button to return to the previous menu.
