Pizzey Park
Skate Park Pt. 2
 
Completed:Early 1999
 
* How to get there:
 
If you have ever been to the old street park or skated the vert ramp in Pizzey Park, then you will know where to go. The park itself is just behind Miami, on the Gold Coast. If you are driving down the Gold Coast Highway, turn off at Sunshine Bvd (where the Pizza Hut, KFC and petrol station is) and the park is on the left a few blocks down. Sonia St is the road that takes you through the park and up the back to the council dump. It is easy to see, being just off the road and occupying a rather large area.
 
* Things you should know:
 
Fun for the whole family!!! Well, not really, but this place has it all. Completely smooth concrete all over, nice coping and good lines gives this place a feel that no one would turn their nose up at. It does take a while to dry after rain but is completely out in the open with no shade, trees or anything else anywhere near, including toilets. (Things might have changed since I was there last, though.) Also there is still the old vert bowl behind the street park so take your broom, pads and helmet as it is still worth a roll.
