South Shields Skate Park

South Shields Skatepark is a popular skatepark located in South Shields, New Zealand. Situated in a beautiful spot right on the beach, it offers a picturesque view for skaters. The park is made entirely of concrete, providing a sturdy and durable surface for skaters of all levels.

The skatepark is divided into two sections to cater to different skating styles. The first section features a large funbox with hipped banks and a stair set in set. Adjacent to this is a driveway with ledges, and surrounding the edges are two bowled edges. The other half of the skatepark consists of a spine with two volcanoes on either side.

This area is surrounded by a continuous, round flat bank and includes a quarter pipe inset.

South Shields Skatepark is well-liked by locals due to its beautifully crafted transitions. The park has well-placed bumps and corners, allowing skaters to effortlessly pump around without the need to constantly push. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced skater, this park is suitable for everyone. Its endless lines and smooth surfaces make it a great place to practise and have fun.

The skatepark is open to the public, but it is subject to opening and closing times. Located at Sea Road, South Shields, Tyne, and Wear NE33 2LD, it is easy to find using navigation tools such as Google Maps. For those using public transportation, the South Shields metro station is nearby. Visitors can exit the station and head east until they reach Ocean Road, which then turns into Pier Parade and eventually becomes Sea Road.

Additionally, the Bents Park bus stop is a short distance away from the skatepark.
