Five Dock Bowls
NEAR ME SHARE
The old gnarly concrete bowl has been there for years, there is also now one of the finest bowls in the country. The new bowl ranges from 5 to 8 foot and features a spine, love seat, pool coping on extensions and has lines forever! The old snake run has also been improved on and there is also a street course in the making, a must skate if in the Sydney area.

5Dock is the best bowlpark in Sydney now. hope some one updates the images.
New parks finished. Perfection...even the snake runs a hoot!
This park is fantastic and really smooth. Lots of fun. I've emailed the site some pics so i hope they update it soon.
the street section is still under construction tho, builders were there yesterday 15/02/07
Dude they already re did this park, they got liek another month and it will be finsihed yer, Im going ther today for a skate, 1st time ive skated in a month 17/2/07
you dont make any sense. Learn to type.
the street section is almost finished. builders were cleaning up yesterday. the bowl of death in the first pic is still there. theres a large nipple, some small 4foot quarters with and without coping, a small tight bowl that almost goes past vert on one section, and a snake run that is still using the old concrete run but some sections are smoother.
I've been going their every weekend, I'm goinging tomorrow. BTW TODD IS A FOB lolsom Jake C
the new section connecting the old bowl is done to, gotta cradle, gnarly. best bowl park in sydney, even gives bodi a run for its money.

oi coen. i love dully=) i did go in the x games i got fourth
ok mad in the finals or the nsw heat?
Hey peepz add me to msn c-azn@hotmail.com :) lol ...wat a fiken fag
add me mitch_well@hotmail.com we can talk about it
oi coen this is a bowl bondi is a pool! this is dead set the best park in aus, only thing that could make it better would be some tiles for that broom sound and less flat between the tranny and tighter corners for some mad super gnarl!!! the snake run is jerv but if it was smoothed out all the way with bigger burms and mayb some speed bumps it would make the park!
dont bother this parks not for u.....stay away...or bad things will happen to u and ure family.
what is the street course like? is this park close to buses or train station? can you skate the bowls without hassle from bike riders?
this is an alright skate park but 2 many scooters and bikers
mufasa, goto burwood station and theres a bus that goes there... cant remember the number...
Wow that looks really smooth!
this sk8 park is be good but not for street skaters and alot of people would get in ur way!!!
That looks Really Fun!!! Does anyone no where the Nearest Station is?
the best parrk in sydney for bowl riders
sick park my local. i rkn in top 5 parks in nsw its hectic
Mr Ripstik You get off at burwood station and catch a bus
Great park.
does it have a street course yet?
mad park street part is hella fun
i <3 this park its so smooth and flow there is a sick little street/snake run thing around it as well the onlt bad thing is there is always 40 year old, old school skaters that hog the bowl but they leave around lunch so then its mad
I'll leave this post here in hope that either Potty or Drew will see it. The new bowl dimensions are as follows. Small bowl is an 8 foot radius cut off at 6 foot. The two other bowls are 9 foot radius cut off at 7 with all extensions at 9 foot high. The taco-bell is over vert at 10 foot high. (10 o'clock, or just under) I know the dimensions down to the millimetre, as I did design it, and would at least like to have some credit for that, even if it's only in this post (or my many other rants during design and construction) All I know about the so-called street area, is that during the last meeting with locals (about 50 people) a sketch was produced proposing this area. It was unanimously voted against, but appeared months after the bowl was finished. I couldn't tell you the dimensions to an exactness, but it would be 2 foot at the lowest bank, up to about 3 and a half or 4 feet high on the rolled lip bank. The taco bowl thing.. Whatever you call those over-vert continuous escelators feels about 6 or 7 foot radius cut at maybe 8 or 9 foot high. I doubt you'd ever get an exact response from the designer of the thing. And YES kids. Old men get less time to skate than you do, but hungar for it just as much. It's only Sunday mornings after all. You've got after school, and weekends. Have pitty on us..
What the hell happened to all my paragraphs? I look like I've never been a nerd. At least the spelling looks ok mostly. Nurse..
^^^NERD^^^
bmx's get fucked learn to skate you dirty cunts

Mr.J youre right dads did and still do skate.used to skate the old bowl (looks diff in this pic) & park when it was just a few banks 30+ years ago on my pride and joy Bahne supa flex fibreglass skateboard, 24 x 6 inch's, Chicago trucks and Stoker Slick wheels. (wish I still had it would be worth heaps) Bowls now look fantastic will give it a go next time in sydney.
sick park
if ur fully into street and not into transition at all then don't come here but im tranny so this prk is one of the best prks in oz
Finally got here I thought the Goldy had good parks, and it does BUT 7.30 on a Monday Morning the park had just been cleaned had the place ON MY OWN (and my son) for 3 hours. in 30 years of rollin this is the best park I have ever skated!!!! Even had a roll in the old bowl for old time sake but it was a bit no a lot scary. Will done Five Dock AWSOME PARK.
That is one of the worst skateparks I've ever been too!
man, this is a classic park, one of the best ones I've ever been to. Deffinatley worth driving five hours there, except if you ride a scooter, then you're not welcome
Hey, Michael Mulhall, I remember skating at Fivedock in the good old days. I didn't realise you had redesigned the park. Well done. I might have to have a skate there. Yes, I am still skating on the same skates I had back in 1981. My son and I skate up at The Slam Factory at Tuggerah fairly regularly but I haven't skated full vert for a while. Would love to catch up one day.
looks good as, exept for the 3rd photo what is that bowl? its ratty as. and jaie toohey rides here :)
its a bmx park and they aint buildin a new one there
best mother fucking park ever
its a hectic park for bmx and scooters but bit big for scatebords
man your spastic its perfect for skating.
haha found this video of some guy showing the park....looks alright but man it looks huge http://youtu.be/LCiAkzHMl2E
Best park in Australia!!! It's intimidating so lots of people try put it down because they can't skate it and the bmx guys go higher than any skater can possibly go so people don't like the vide... But it's still the best park around because it illuminates poser skateboards
Wtf is this shit
This is a great park. Was up from Melb & had a sesh this morning with the local old crusty skaters - good / friendly crew. Hint: Watch the locals to find the speed lines.
