Welcome to: Benny's Brisbane Skateboard Directory The site for skaters in Brisbane, Australia Compiled by Mark Brimson     Redcliffe Area Skate Parks/Sites   Redcliffe Shire   Woody Point Bowl King St (Lahore Park)   Redcliffe beach front Ramp Marine Pde (Youth Park, on the beach front)   Main Skate Park Oxley St (Langdon Park, maybe??)   For the area of Redcliffe, there used to only be a really old bowl at Woody Point that has been there since the stone age. It is still skate able although being flexible in skating ability is a must for this place. The double bowl joined by a shallow channel was the ideal skate facility of the early eighties, having a small bowl for beginners and a deep bowl for the more experienced skater.   The old bowl   A few years ago the council decided to put in a ramp on the water front and a small street area. With no real knowledge of skate facilities, they did fairly well with the ramp, being about six ft high and made of metal, with a laminate surface that would last until the end of the world. It is not too bad to ride, but the surface takes a little while to get used to. The so called street area is just a flat slab of concrete with a very slight inclined bank at one end. I am sure they were going to build something more on this nice big flat area (maybe they have since I was last there) but it is really just a place to do flat land tricks, eg. kick once, roll, kick flip, roll and stop. I have not been back there for quite a while.   The ramp and "street area" behind it (b/s ollie to tail by me)   Now, the new park located on Oxley Ave is quite the wonder of wonders. It has all the main ingredients for a top of the line skate park but still one is left wondering if someone could have done a better job or double checked the measurements before building it. You would see what I mean when you skate it yourself. Overall it is a very good park with lots of things to do. There is a little capsule bowl built into the platform at one end, many banks, curves, a big bowl end, a set of stairs, (with no real run up to them) a rail and a grind block, an "X games" like quarter to bank launch box in the middle and a low but long grind rail running down one side. Check out the photos for a good look at this place.   Overview of Redcliffe Skate Park   View from the other end   The grind rail (friend rail slide)   Grind block down the stairs (Brett Box f/s 50)   Different view of same trick       email me at:   mbrimson@yahoo.com ***** (click here to send me mail) *****   Click the "BACK" button to return to the previous menu.
