Coolum Beach Skatepark is a well developed and decent sized park right next to the beach. Comparing to older photos of this park it’s clear there has been an upgrade. The main U shaped bowl has had an overhaul for sure. The two tone blue and grey colour scheme of the bowl surface is a nice touch. It’s quite large a bowl and is a real treat to ride. Most of the way around it looks 6 foot deep with a taller section on one end that is closer to 7 foot. This beast is very fast and also slippery, so it can be unforgivingly solid if you slam. The best idea would be to pad up and wear a helmet for this one.
Other obstacles in a street line include a sloped rail down the bank ending with a 4-5 foot quarter. Also there are ledges to work with on the perimeter near the main bowl which are standard. Alongside the rail there’s the shallow pill shaped mini bowl about 3 foot deep. It’s a favourite for the little shredders and scooter kids, as at least it has a transition and some good coping. What is also very impressive is the total shade this park is in. It’s well covered by an array of shade sails this would be a godsend in summer.
Take note that this park can get extremely busy at peak times.
