Gold Coast Skateparks

The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s best free skate destinations. There are council parks everywhere throughout the city stretching from Cooloongatta in the south through to Ormeau in the north. And they are not your typical dish style either, there are epic skateparks on the GC. Full pipes, cradles, old school to new style obstacles. You’ll also find quite a few Gold Coast Skateparks with lights meaning the area is a great place for skating for free at night. Some of the more popular skate parks include Pizzey Park, Tugun and Nerang.

The Gold Coast has Logan and Brisbane to its north, and Tweed & Northern Rivers to the south. There are some excellent parks in both directions and within only a few hours drive. The weather is pretty good too so skate safaris and weekenders though out the area are always on the cards.

There have been a few over the years, but as of 2021 there is only one open to the public. At the southern end of the Gold Coast in Currumbin Waters is where you’ll find Level Up Skatepark & Training Facility. It is a pay to skate park, but well worth a visit.

Where can I skate at night on the Gold Coast?

If you’re looking to shred at night on the GC, there’s more than a few good options around. Some of the best skateparks are lit up like Christmas trees, and the later you stay the less of a crowd. It’s also cooler in the evening so you can skate harder and longer. The skateparks you’ll want to hit up are Nerang, Elanora, Runaway Bay, Pizzey and Ormeau.
