Best for confident skaters who know what to expect. Rotorua's central skatepark at Sheaf Park has a concrete mini-ramp, a metal mini-ramp, ledges, rails, steps and quarters, but it is worn, and a new park is planned at Kuirau Park.

๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

Fine for a competent teenager who wants a quick session in town, but not a place to take a beginner or a young child on a scooter without checking the ramps first. Walk the park before they ride, look at the deck surfaces, and insist on a helmet. If you are in Rotorua in a year or two, the new Kuirau Park facility should be the better option.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กCheck ramp decks for holes and loose planks before anyone rides
โฐHelmets and pads are essential here: the surfaces are worn
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธBetter suited to experienced skaters than beginners or small kids on scooters
๐Ÿš—It is unfenced, unsupervised and open all hours, so daylight visits are wiser

โ€œWould have been 5 star but bit neglected. Skate ramp decks holes in and planks put over. Kids can seriously injure themselves.โ€

Overview

Rotorua Skate Park sits in Sheaf Park on the corner of Ranolf and Amohau Streets near the city centre. It is an older, street-style setup: a concrete mini-ramp, a metal mini-ramp, two driveways with ledges, round rails, a set of steps, quarter pipes and banks. It is free and open all hours. Reviews are lukewarm, and the specific complaint is maintenance: holes in ramp decks patched with planks. The council has confirmed a new multisport skatepark at Kuirau Park, with ground works under way.
