Toowoomba Skate Park
 
Toowoomba (2 hour drive west of Brisbane)
 
Situated in a fairly small park beside the main roads (Hume St and cnr of Chalk Dr) this place is easy enough to see from the road and surrounding areas. The car park does cost to park (about 20 cents an hour last checked) so take some small change with you when you go there. There is a fair bit of free parking further down the street if you don't want to spend all your lunch money. It is close enough to the main shop and business centre, (including a decent skate shop) and everything else is right there from what I can recall. Even some decent street terrain...
 
The main attraction is a rather large metal mini ramp (7ft) with some nice matching extensions (8ft) at one end. It is separated from the concrete street area by a banked seating arrangement which forms the back of the big quarter that faces a bank box and then the bowl at the end. Other features include a spine, grind box with ajustable height, other bank to box grind rail arrangements and some simple but fun concrete structures that you will have to go see for yourself to understand fully.
