Also it is purely a street style skate park, so if you were looking for anything other than that, it's not great. Wouldn't recommend

I quite often walk past this skate park and think 'oooo, if I was a skater I'd rip this place up'…read more I'm a mum now but when I was ten I borrowed one of the neighbourhood kids skateboards to roll down a small but steep driveway. I landed flat on my behind and ended up with a black bruise the size of Tokyo city. This I might add was immediately after my neighbor had done the exact same thing bar the bruise which was on the other cheek. Anyway... my point is I have the passion but not the know how or talent when it comes to skating and you need at least the fearless passion to give some of the jumps at this skate park a go. As you can see by the pictures there are rails, stairs and 2 metre jumps. Most of the time I walk past it's filled with a dozen or more kids ranging from ages 5 to 15. The little ones are often padded up with helmets whilst mums watch from the side. The bigger kids have the cool factor going on but are harmless enough. It's not an intimidating atmosphere - no graffiti, no smoking - it's more of a "lets carve this place up dude". With phrases like this... now I'm showing my age. No lights for night use. Right next to a bus stop and a leafy golf course but also on a busy section of Ernest Street.

This is an awesome place that helps get kids involved. Highly recommended - great staff!read more

I finally got around to being able to explore this place. Well, not quite since this place is…read moremonumentally huge, and it is absolutely impossible to pretty much explore every nook and crany in the limited amount of time that was available to me, but I did get a decent chance to wander around a large part of it, and at least say that I have been to Centenial Park, or at least more than just running in there and looking for a toilet. They do have barbeque areas, and quite a few of them, but they also have lakes, and just plain old good parkland to wander around.

Better than a hundred parks! This park is huge! It's a…read moresprawling park, full of all kinds of amenities! There's so much to see and do here- it's a fantastic park in the middle of Sydney. I rode a bike through here on the many improved trails that crisscross through this public space. Through here, there were teams practicing rugby, enough bicyclists to start a biker gang, joggers, runners, and people who were out to just take in the sunshine. As you cross through this park, you find lots of green open spaces large enough to play a full game of rugby, without running into a park bench or a tree. There's restrooms available. My favorite thing about this park is the huge stone gates at each entrance that remind you that you're entering an important public space. There's monuments throughout the park, and plenty of parking! I felt safe riding through here, just due to the sheer number of people who were out having a stroll in the park!

This place used to be a dumping ground in the old days and has been transformed into a gorgeous park. Sydney Park includes a series of visually prominent hills which provide panoramic views of the city skyline and Sydney Airport. There is a massive skate park, kids play areas and some of the heritage of this area has also been preserved nicely. Loved going here with our dog.

Located just south of Newtown is one of Sydney's best reclaimed green spaces. Sydney Park…read more Identifiable from the historical heritage listed brickworks chimneys from the days when the area used to be the brickworks for Sydney, it's a vast green area that is perfect for any recreational activity. Lovely open green areas perfect for walking the dog, and a large kids playground equipped with a large sandpit, climbing frames, swings and slides, it's got everything a kid needs to explore, play and wear themselves out. There's a challanging skate park, and a learn to ride bike area for the kids. There's also a sports oval where I believe a local Sydney grade cricket team plays during the summer months. Lush green grass is plentiful, and perfect for a picnic. Climb up the steep hills and you will find yourself with views stretching to the City and lower North Shore in the north, to the Aiport and Brighton le Sands region in the South, and on clear sunny days, free of smog and polloution you can glimpse the sprawling Blue Mountains and Great Dividing Range. Whether you're jogging or cycling through for a bit of quick fitness, or spending the day relaxing, it's a fantastic park with plenty of amenities. One downside is the toilets aren't the cleanest, and probably need more attention especially during weekend periods. There's a small cafe just outside the childrens play area which serves a good range of coffees and light meals. I'm sure in time that'll get a review on it's own. But with two young kids, it's going to be a regular destination for myself. And with walking distance to King St, Newtown, I'm sure there's plenty of opportunities for a cheeky beer or two in one of the many pubs and bars located along the strip. Or, if you're my wife, plenty of (window) shopping.

Although a concrete monstrosity to me, I often wander past the Winmalee Skate Park on my morning…read moreconstitutional and am always surprised by how much use it gets. Mornings you can see mums with gaggles of tiny children smothered in protective gear so comprehensively that any movement seems a remarkable achievement. They zoom around on scooters and amazingly tiny bikes shrieking with delight. Late afternoons and weekends teenagers lurk with malodorous intent, disdaining helmets of course, most ruinous for the do. I spent my teenage years in the Blue Mountains lamenting the lack of anywhere to go or anything to do, so I just wanted to give credit for the provision of this place. I can't see myself ever taking up skateboarding (and really, no-one else would want to see that either) but I'm glad this is here.

Got kids? Looking for a recreational area where they could let out all that energy and just jump…read morearound, have fun? My favourite place to go to is Rockdale south Bicentennial Park; it's close to home, ample parking and something for everyone. There are lots of swings and slides as most parks would have. What I find really interesting a boat shaped equipment called the wave rider. My Son and I just jump into it and we make it go up and down, little side to side and pretend that we are riding a boat. Fun! There are other see-saws and other play equipment. It's a pretty good spot for barbeques and picnics as well. There is a bike track or you could call it a jogging track which a lot of people use. And then there is a huge skating rink that is always filled with kids wither on their scooty's or skate boards. I always see younger children just enjoying looking at the older kids doing their stunts. Also they have a swing for the disabled children which I found so thoughtful. Basically they can just go and slide their wheelchair up on it and swing away. Aww ..every child( even disabled) deserve to go swinging..

Fantastic new Park at Umina with all the upgraded facilities like the new climbing walls,…read morebasketball courts, BMX Track and skate parks for different ages. It would be even better if kids under 5 years old and bike riders were kept off the larger skate bowl and stayed on the BMX or pump tracks that have been purpose built for them. They take over, don't look where they're going and don't care, leave their bikes or scooters just lying on ramps for skaters to try and avoid. And the parents get upset if you dare to politely ask them or thier kids to please be mindful of older skaters so they don't knock them off and get injured by thier kids hitting them. They behave entitled and rude. If thier kids get injuried I will guarantee that they will kick up a huge stink with council and make all sorts of ridiculous demands . In saying that there are some cool and competent young skaters who's parents have taught them the etiquette of sharing space. It's awesome. Suggestion...the Council to enforce some rules by putting up signs that say no bikes or toddlers with scooters or balance bikes permitted on the skate bowl. My son has a fractured wrist, damaged kneecaps and abrasion burns from a young child knocking into him and it was impossible for my son to avoid him. After an afternoon in emergency, in a great deal of pain, he's now bandaged up in splints. Parents of young kids need to at least supervise young kids properly or even better use the track that was built for them instead of endangering others. Someone is going to be critically hurt, and it just might be a young kid and the park shut down because of thier arrogance. Thanks!!!
