1 / 2Old Avalon skate rink
📍 Avalon, Wellington
Low-traffic outdoor skate rink in Avalon with DIY-built obstacles and ramps. Suits young beginners on bikes, scooters, and skates. Concrete surface needs resurfacing and glass debris has been reported.
Good location with some DIY built obstacles. Not busy which is good so can actually use it. Needs resurfacing/concrete grinding but take it over an over crowded “wheeled park”.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for young children and beginners on bikes or scooters who need uncrowded space to build confidence. The quiet setting is its strongest asset. Older or more experienced skaters will find the obstacles and surface limiting. Scan the concrete for glass debris before letting young children use the rink.

“Its getting a bit tired looking now and a reseal will probably fix it. But still good for kids and adults too to use it for safe biking and scootering too.”

“It's hardly used now. It's location is not practical and not considered user friendly no more.”

“Simple skate ring with backed sides and a few ramps. Quiet and good for young kids/beginners.”
Reviews from Google
Overview
Avalon's skate rink stays significantly quieter than Wellington's main wheeled parks, giving beginners genuine space to practise without congestion. The rink features banked sides, a few ramps, and DIY-constructed obstacles. The concrete surface is aged and uneven — reviewers recommend resurfacing — and shattered glass has been reported on the surface. The location is considered inconvenient by some users, with low foot traffic meaning the rink often sits unused.
