Box Hill Skatepark — Attraction in Melbourne

I am a regular user of Box Hill skatepark. Parents are increasingly unaware of skatepark etiquette and allowing their toddlers to scooter about unrestricted. For instance, toddlers are sliding into the bowl on their bums with no warning just as I'm about to drop in. On several occasions I have had to jump off my board narrowly missing a child. A collision on one of those near misses could have been fatal. I would have had to live with that for the rest of my life. The matter should be taken as seriously as not allowing children to run across basket ball courts while games are in session and running across roads.

Here are my suggestions: No toddlers on scooters should be allowed at the park past 11 am Parents should heed the warnings of other experienced users of the skatepark

This is also one of Australia's...

One of the best setup Skate Parks in the area, which is reflected on the number and of people from different disciplines, that come to Skate/Ride here. With lights that come on from Dusk until 9pm, it’s a great place to ride any time of day. There are lots of different obstacles and ramps/bowls to try out, and something to suit the beginners through to advanced riders. There is also seating and a covered area, plus a public toilet on site. Plus a bonus repair station with most of the basic tools to make board/bike...

I briefly happened upon this place while visiting from the US and am so grateful that I did. It's an absolute gem of a spot. The layout is very well thought out, the build quality is superb, there's polished granite coping (seriously, what!?!?) and the locals are rad. The kidney bowl is also one of the absolute best I've ever skated. My only complaint is that I didn't have a week to spend here. What are you waiting for?...
