- Sydney is blessed once again with another brand new, amazing skatepark!
This is the first skatepark we have ever had built under a bridge and is super helpful when we're skating under the hot Aussie sun 😎
This is Beaumont Hills skatepark, designed by Place and built by Trinity Skateparks and then amazing little park has something for everyone
Park at Ettamogah pub to access the skatepark 👇🏽
Ettamogah Pub Address:
Cnr Merriville &, Windsor Rds, Kellyville Ridge NSW 2155
Do the positives of the skatepark outweigh the negatives?
u sure $4M !? if u r how much was the land? $2.5-3M !?
@@patrickgodin5778it’s Australia 🇦🇺 it’s expensive like double than America for everything. Haha. You’re not a Aussie lol if you were you would know that. 😢
I’m from California so 4 million for this skatepark would be cheap. A park in SoCal now is in the millions for like a small little plaza spot in a main city.
@@patrickgodin5778out of everything that’s the thing that made you think? lol 😂 not the skating or fun music? 😢😢😢
Ofcourse, It's a free skate park. Are there really any negatives?
@@Leo-eb8vp Nothing is free.
4 million for that inflation is crazy
There's a dan murphys across the road......huge plus.
True 😂
Don't forget the Ettamogah.
lol
The worst ettamogah you mean @@GunmoonYT
Whos bringing the broom???
All in all god dam wish these parks were around when i was 14.
They poppin up in every Suburb these days.
Great vid and channel mate.
Yeah definitely need a broom or a blower lol
We are getting so lucky out here with new skateparks every other month for sure!
Thank you man 🙏🏽
Totally agree about the bark, took two falls on my first visit. Lack of water was tough as it’s hot out that way but otherwise amazing park and as always a great review Leon!
Haha yeah they do it every time! The water is a massive negative though, lucky there's plenty of shops across the road 🙏🏼
Thank you, thanks for watching!
Can't bring a water bottle?
@@JohnSmith-pn1vvI usually go through my water bottle multiple times and have to refill it
4 million dollars for some dirt cheap concrete & a few tins of paint,your joking,400,000 dollars maximum to build that,
Considering it's Sydney maybe 3.6M of that is for the land
@@dylan5569 its council or govt owned land,governments are very good at wasting money & every thing they do turns out more expensive,the land value may have been included Dylan,nice work bro
Great guitar solo form about 3:10, nice skating also!
I didn’t even realise 😂
Hey Leon, love your videos every time i stop and start skateboarding i always seem to fall back to watching all of your videos. I got my hands on some Rayban Meta Wayferer sunglasses and they are epic! I would love to see some of your videos with the POV style content with the sunglasses, you should definitely look into grabbing one! 😊
Thanks dude! I actually watched the video Casey Neistat did on them and they look sick!
@@LeonPaxton cheers for the reply man! Hopefully ill see you around one day, im based on the Central Coast so i will keep a pen in my car in case i bump into ya so you sign my board! Lol
Oh hell yeah dude, I'm looking to come up there soon and skate some of the sick parks up that way 🤝🏽
Such a fair review, super cool.
Thanks dude, thanks for watching 🙏🏽
Dudette 🙏😉 keep shedding!
Haha dudette 🤘🏽
love your style of skating and review of the parks! would love to see you cover parks in other states too, like frankston skatepark, east bentleigh, riverslide & somerville skatepark in victoria
Thank you, appreciate that a lot! 🙏🏼
I would love to man, just need to organise getting out to different places other than Sydney lol
@@LeonPaxton of course, i drive up to sydney a few times a year to see family - 9 hour drive from where I live but it's worth it. A lot of skateparks, like frankston, have staff you can contact who could definitely help with getting you around and the video
Damn 9hrs is a heavy drive! I'll have to plan a trip soon then 🙏🏼
@@LeonPaxton of course, i just blast music - helps a ton. you could also stop overnight in albury!
That Albury park is amazing too!
Now that’s how skateparks should be built ,, loads of slappy curbs 😋
Oh dude, that long slappy curb is the best 😍
Yes leon your tricks are so slick
Thanks dude, thanks for watching!
Your welcome man I love the content you've been putting out
Appreciate that so much man 🙏🏼
No problem
Nice looking 👀 park.
Has a few crazy obstacles and quite a few cool chill sections that slappy curb next to that rainbow rail was cool.
Yeah dude, it's such a good park to just hang out and have a fun & chill session 👌🏼
One thing i will say is that it looks like a lot of the obstacles have been specifically designs with skateboarding in mind, looks like they would be a bit more cumbersome to skate this park on inlines or bmx. That being said though, the other side of that coin is that this park looks like a skateboarders paradise! Makes me want to go back to learning to board alongside my inlines
That's very true! It seems like since the olympics and having our first SLS contest here back in October all of the new skateparks are being designed very skateboarder specific 🤔
so lucky to even have a park
Looks really good for beginners
It is!
4million does that include the bridge.?
😂😂😂😂
rad! ty for ur services
No problem dude, thanks for watching!
trinity ripping the local council by about 3.75 mil 🤦♂️😂🤣
Why don’t they make good mini ramps anymore ,, like a nice mellow 3-4 foot would be good
looks great easlily could be made for 500k
@@Romenamath yes they did
Enjoyable video
Thanks my man 🙏🏼
Bracken ridge in Brisbane has fake grass you can roll over and do easy powerslides, its good stuff. Its also has some fake bark that bodied me when I tried to roll over it.
Damn that fake grass/astro turf would be a way better alternative!
Skatepark looks great... Shame there is no mini ramp or bowl..
But at least you have a skate park... Were i live its all DIY.. there is only one park and that costs € 7.50 for 3hours.. so enjoy it and be happy😊
that's true, skateparks are definitely being made more street like these days 🤔
DIY parks are amazing though, I'm looking to start building some stuff again soon 🤞🏽
So much flat ground and space which is great. Looks fun as...
This park looks super slippery and cool 🎉
this park looks fun
It’s actually so good!
what a sick park
It's so fun!
Bro thankyou so much for reviewing this park like I requested.
All good dude, such a good park!
What’s good Leon? Like you I’m an Aussie skater and I currently can’t skate due to a fractured ankle. I think you should totally come down to Coffs Harbour and check out our three skateparks and one of them is in door. I reckon you’ll be pretty pleased with Brelsford skatepark so you should totally come for a look
Oh damn dude, hopefully that heals up quick! Sick, I'll definitely check those out if I'm ever out that way man 🙏🏼
Looks like they’ve held some kind of bmx summernats there. What’s with all the skids?
Fresh skids on polished concrete lol
Looks good, but why no 6 ft half pipes with a spine and roll in. Good use of space.
This man skates clean as
Thank you!
an empty 4milly skatepark is crazy
Wasn’t empty when I walked past on a weekend. Was full of families and kids. Kids were queuing to use the circuit section, some of them were 3-4 years old as well, so it seemed to be a big hit. On weekdays it be empty I guess because people have school/work.
Need more slappies at all parks. That one looks perfect
That slappy curb is the best 😍
lights water and a kerb to separate the landscaping and it s a perfect park!
Agreed!
Man if you needed any music to use in the background of your videos don’t hesitate to use any of mine 👀 just throw me in the description
Sick man, I'll suss it out! Thank you 🙏🏼
This is perfect. I planned a skate trip from far north qld to central coast. Stoked to hit this eventually 🤤
Hell yeah dude, sounds like a sick trip!
I'm not a skater, but i thought skate features were supposed to be closer together
That's a surprisingly approachable park that'd be good for beginners. Or even guys like me who skated for like 20 years (too old and broken now lol) but never much in parks or transitions. Often parks get built to big an intimidating and then no one skates them. No platform on the quarter is a bit silly considering they've got safety fencing on anything ya could accidently fall off. No parking , no water and also no toilets is a pretty big oversight though. Often they're some of the first things considered.
Yeah the skatepark itself is really good but everything else to do with it isn’t lol
$4 Million would build a few apartments for homeless Australians
We need a park like this in California
You guys already have the best parks over there don't you?
@@LeonPaxton yeah some but not like this one thu this park looks fun as hell
@@LeonPaxton we have a park or two In almost every city in California. And we have city after city with hardly any empty land in between. Minus like natural hills and state owned land.
I live in SoCal one day I googled all the parks within a 1 hr driving distance and there was over 25+ parks near me. Within a 30-45 min drive I got about half that at least. Don’t forget the endless street spot possibilities and actual well known spots too: it’s actually a little over whelming sometimes.
Damn that's sick! It would be cool to try and hit them all in one day lol
Yeah dude, all of the street spots that I see over there look amazing!!!
When they build the next one, they know who to call.
Parking, bathroom, bubblers pretty standard for a park.
Yeah I was pretty surprised to see that they didn't have any of this lol
What board are you riding , that looks amazing
This is the 9.8" Stingee Thingee deck from Heroin Skateboards 👌🏼
Are mini ramps just straight up banned from skateparks or what!? It's such a fun feature that literally no park adds. Who needs another useless steep ass quarter?
I need to fly to Sydney now
Do it!
It’s not that good
@@HOSWELL444 what’s not good about it?
4 mill for a cement slab, gotta love the gov
🙌🏼
love all the bike marks everywhere
That is a total waste of money by 10. $4 million for that? You gotta be kidding me. Why the hell does that cost so much there’s not even a bowl! They should’ve just gotten some skaters together give them 40 grand and they could’ve done a better job DIY. That city got ripped off.
The city IS A RIP OFF
It's closer to 2 mil in your American money. Or 1 civil suit against a bad police officer, pretty cheap compared.
$4 million is peanuts these days… money don’t go far anymore.
3 mil of that was for the independent inquiry to see if there was any endangered species in the grass lol
That park looks amazing. Not a fan of all the paint though. Great video.
Thanks dude! Yeah it's a bit distracting at first but just like an old skatepark that's covered in graffiti, you get so used to it that you don't even see it anymore lol
I may have to travel to the land down under mate 👍🛹 nice park, looks fun.
Yeah dude, we are getting so spoilt with all these amazing parks in Sydney over the last few years!
omg, the wood chips! The skate park closest to me is in a U shape with a playground in the middle with woodchips, and the kids spread them ALL OVER the park! It's such a dumb idea to put wood chips around any skateparks. I started taking a broom whenever I was going to skate, but eventually just stopped skating that park
I missed one woodchip when I was sweeping one time, hit it on my skateboard and fell face first into the quarter pipe I was heading towards. Never skated there since
Oh dude, it's the worst and they just keep doing it 😂
@@LeonPaxton It's because it's cheap. If there's a garden or playground or something they always put woodchips on the synthetic stuff you see at playgrounds now because woodchips are super cheap vs the soft synthetic ground
Another skate only park in Sydney, man they gotta start making them big again for bmx!!
Looks like a good design, feels like a missed opportunity to be under a bridge and not have some transition built into a bridge support. Also hate the trinity skateparks super slick finish. We have a park built(and designed) by them up here and its super tight with a super slick finish. Still unskatable with hard wheels after over a year of sun and rain...
Damn that actually would have been sick if they did something like that!
Yeah these parks are pretty gnarly at first with how slippery they are but they definitely come good after a while. You almost need an 80duro wheel to not slip out lol
Skate parks need to be built with some type of covering for sunny days, and water fountains
Agreed!
@@LeonPaxton I ride a lot out in Florida when k visit , and it’s actually baffling how many parks are just left to the elements. ESPECIALLY there. One of the first parks I went to was legit in a wide open field with no trees or anything around, had one awning that was a giant metal “skateboard” with holes in it… the closest water fountain was on the complete other side of the sport complex where the entrance was. For most dudes on their bikes or skateboards, that was a hike in a half for what it was.
Another park I go to has the facilities, but are always locked or has the water cut off 80% of the year. It just doesn’t make sense, unless the city purposely wanted to inconvenience riders
Damn that’s crazy! That doesn’t really make sense for them to do that does it lol
How is it possible within the laws of physics that this skate park cost 4 Million dollars????
If that cost $4 million I got a castle in the sky to sell them
Yes my local skate park up the 2155
4milli and zero bowl or half pipe, is that mulch gonna be another case of asbestos in it ?
I keep hearing about asbestos wood chips and am starting to get worried loo
Can you come check out Prahran skatepark in Melbourne soon. Should be completed in 2 month.
Oh dude, the plans for that park look amazing!
Might have to check this park out
It's definitely worth it man!
4 MILLION!? WTF. That's some serious corruption
This is my local skate park! It's got an amazing community and accomodates for all skill levels.
Looks like a really good balance of features - ledges, curbs, banks, transition, rails. Feels a little bit like daycare with the colour scheme though 🤣
Nice review Leon!
Haha yeah a lot of people aren't really feeling it but I don't mind it 🤷🏽♂️
Thanks again man 🙏🏼
watching from old
I live down the road from it. Skated there once and can’t see myself going back. Crazy waste of space
There’s barely any worthwhile lines and only one side of it gets any of the light at night
Everything is so flat and spread out you may as well be skating in a parking lot
Im a kid that goes to this skatepark and this came up on my recommended. Ive got to say other skateparks in the area are WAYYY better that are a lot smaller and on a lesser budget. I ride skateboard and the only half decent part of the park is the pump track and it only has 1 drop in with coping.
Cool park, but theres no way that cost 4m, 500k more like at the most.
Spoke to a council worker there. He reckons its not finished yet and parking is coming soon. Which obviously is needed for sure
Oh sick! Hopefully they install some water bubblers at the same time and this place will be perfect 👌🏼
That nollie back 50 jeez🔥
Thanks dude! I wanted to try nollie crook but I was too scared lol
Well Explained Video
Needs Free Water and Murals
🇦🇺🔥👀
Yo try maroubra beach skate park they have a mad full bowl and mad half pipes
I've been there once and actually had heaps of fun!
what time did you go for it to be this empty? im a hella anxious dude and hate skating around people and would love a empty park haha
go early mornings 5:30-6am they seem to work for me only people their are either scooter kids and their parents or homeless people :)
@@harrisonmanuel2389 I start work at 6am sadly haha get off pretty early at 9am/10am tho
I usually go on a week day around 8-10am
The rainbow keeps skaters out 😂
Nice ice skating rink
Fully lol
Brad Eastman need to get paid for that paintjob lol.
That’s crazy that it would cost that much
This park is absolutely beautiful, I am from the north of england.. our parks are horrbile.
I wish we had a park like this near me!
Damn dude, hopefully they build something like this in your are in the future then 🤞🏽
Sydney is going through a skate park bonanza in the past few years. The parks popping up are so good, I came out of 'retirement' after 17 years off the board!
Yeah fully man! I feel like after the Olympics there was just a massive amount of money poured into building all these amazing new park in Sydney!
Hell yeah, welcome back dude!
Will people be able to tag it?
What'd they do with the other 3.5 million?
Someone got an under the table handout in that deal.
someone pocketed $3mill
The positive of the skate parks in my country, is that sometimes you can go and no get stabbed 🙂
I hear it's stab or be stabbed in Sydney
some minor negatives but such a rad park! also see youre still rockin the redrilled stingy thingy
Yeah dude, the park itself is so fun!
For now, but I still just can't get the hang of it properly lol
@@LeonPaxton my only local park that I don’t have to drive 40 mins to an hour for has just been destroyed over the past few months. Flat-bar was broken and torn out of the ground and the ledge someone built was smashed. And I’m Trying to figure out how to approach the city to have it updated since it’s Been a stagnant prebuilt park for 20 years now.
Oh damn, that sucks man! That's so annoying, hopefully you can get the skate community together and get the council to work something out for you guys 🤞🏽
our skatepark has really good lights, but they turn off around 22:00... so basicly when you need light, you don't have any >.<
it's far away from any houses, but I think they did not do this because of noise, but to keep away drinking teens, bums etc at night.
the thing I don't like about it is, that you have to turn it on yourself via a chip (not everyone has one) and it turns off after 30minutes. then you have to walk to the generator and turn the light on again... pretty dumb, if you'd ask me
Damn that sounds like such an annoying process lol
Thats cool. Didnt realise anyone still rode a skateboard. Didnt realise people in Sydney do anything other than drive 20 hours a week to go anywhere
you need to visit carlingford skatepark
I’ve been there before but not since it opened! I’ll add that one to the list 👌🏽
Ill bring some white paint
4 million dollar skate park...
1 skater in attendance
Wait ''til you see this place on a Saturday 😅
Looks like a really fun park!
That's something I really dislike in VIC.
There were lots of good skateparks in QLD and clearly some decent ones in NSW too but Melbourne has a sincere lack of good skateparks. they're either outstandingly minimal or just have absolutely NO flow.
I can think of 2, maybe THREE good skateparks I know of.
Damn that sucks man! At least Melbourne has great street spots to make up for the lack of good skateparks lol
No need to landscape inside skating areas. This kills me everytime. Thanks for the video. Didn’t even know this place existed
Yeah they do it every time hey 😂
No worries dude, thanks for watching!
new zealand needs more skateparks :(
4 million dollars wtf
is this place not even on google maps yet?
No not yet, they need to update that asap lol
Where's the stairs?
I went there it was so fun
I love it! Got another video there dropping tomorrow lol
No mini ramp or bowl. I'd get bored there. Thete's only so much street stuff you can do before a different vibe is needed. In my opinion.
4 Millions pour une dalle de béton, ça me surprendra toujours 😏
It's like Ancient History (Aquaduct)...skate parks built under bridges with no bathrooms, concessions, supervisory attendants ,away from the local commerce center , vulnerable to be preyed upon by ones who frequent similar places.
Fear not, all the bright, rainbow colours will stop all graffiti, abuse and crime :P
DON'T EAT THE MULCH ☢️
