Stockton Skate Park is the first street style skate plaza in the Hunter region. Taking inspiration from the docks, the skate plaza incorporates long lines, steel sculptural features and the remnants of gantry infrastructure to create a unique skate experience.
Address: Griffith Park, Stockton

Elermore Vale Bowl is a Mexican hat style bowl ranging from 3-5ft depth with varying degrees of difficulty in the transition. It has mostly curved edges which best suit BMX and scooter riding.

Islington Bowl is another of Newcastle’s bowl skate facilities. Ranging from the intermediate gradient to somewhat expert this structure provides something for the more skilled rider. Beginners are cautioned to stay in the shallow area.
Address: Islington Park, Maitland Road, Islington.

Maryland Skate Park has a concrete half pipe and linked metal street style section. Located next to the local shopping centre it provides a popular recreation area.

South Newcastle Beach Skate Park is a large concrete park with a plethora of transitions and street influenced obstacles along with a 6ft metal halfpipe. This park is in a picturesque location, metres form the beach and bordered by scenic walkway. Drainage issues and weathering have made it a location best served for scooter and bmx riders due to the rough, unstable terrain.
Address: South Newcastle Beach, Shortland Esplanade, Newcastle.

Wallsend Skate Park - The park was originally designed with bike users in mind but now has a skate interchange. The skate interchange consists of large steel sculptures which provide new technical challenges for users of the facility while adding constrast and value to the overall skate park. The facility has experienced a high level of use and attracts large numbers on weekends and during school holidays. It has also been used for local bike competitions.
Address: Wallsend Park, Brooks Street, Wallsend.
