Welcome to: Benny's Brisbane Skateboard Directory The site for skaters in Brisbane, Australia Compiled by Mark Brimson   Click on pic for full image   Shailer Park Skate Park   Completed: July 1999   * How to get there: (From the Street Directory: Map 1) Find Roselea St and once there, park in the car park of the "KP Shopping Centre" down near the bottom of the slight hill. You cannot miss the skate park, dug into the side of the hill as it is the only thing in the area.   * Things you should know: The old bowl that was there from the last decade has been built around to make a double horse shoe type of thing. The old is just bumpy concrete, but the new one is all nice smooth concrete with a coping lip the whole way round. There is a hip at the end of the curve leading into the rest of the park. Everything is smallish, in size and in distance between obstacles, with a distinct rollerblade feel to some of the construction work. A big easy bank covers one whole side with a quarter fun box in the middle (very quick transitions) and a similar bank on the other side only this one is double hipped - imagine a half hexagon platform on top. It is definitely worth a skate, although it is up to you if you want to go back or not. This is the sort of place that would get very busy with any more than 5 people skating it at once. Shops and toilets are close (both in the small shopping centre) and there is a small amount of shade during the daylight hours.   Overview of the park   (Close up of pic 1) Marty on bank b/s nollie heel variation   Stair ollie Local skater... sorry, I forgot your name!   Indy to fakie in new bowl by Jason (hope I got the name right?!)   "Roller blade grind box" can be used by skateboarders Noah feeble from quarter 180 out at the end   Hand rail slide Gavin was the only one to do this rail on the day!
