Acacia Ridge Skate Park
NEAR ME SHARE
The street orientated skate park at James Freney Park went in around the start of the new boom of skateboarding in the mid ninties, but was relatively unknown as a skate park for quite a while. It has a very plain layout, and a little too much bitumen in between ramps. At one end, there is a big mellow lumpy concrete quarter that has replaced the metal quarter that was originally the main feature. The quarter faces onto a low bank fun box arrangement, with a slappy grind rail going down one side. Running round most of the place is a shaped quarter that starts at about 1ft and ends in nothing but gets up to about 4ft in the main section, with hips, bends and whip arounds built into it. In the middle of the park, there is a low grind block 1ft, just right for anyone to skate.
From time to time, there are brought in obstacles, which make for a little more fun. The place is sometimes not so good with a lot of dirt and broken glass and in some areas repairs are constantly being done as the bitumen has sunk, making a bit of a bump between ramps and flat.
There is little in the way of shade and the seats, bins and drink fountain are often vandalised so bring all you need.

This park is really spread our with alot of bitcumen which means alot of pushing inbetween obstacles. The big metal quarter has been replaced with a concrete quarter that is really lumpy and uneven. THe park is situated within an industrial area away from public transport. The slappy rail and whip around are a bit of fun but you are probably better off driving a bit further to inala or kuraby.
pretty much what geebz has said this park isn't really worth the visit, if your in the area you might aswell look around the industrial area in which its located for some street spots or just keep driving to a bettr park thats close by
This park used to be the ducks nuts 7 or so years ago. Sadly its not that good anymore due to vandals and non-repair. I wouldn't skate here alone, especially if you are a young skater.
my local , well theres lots of those helicopter beads that fall from the tree's so bring a broom, id rather take the bus to inala tho because its pretty much a nothing park
this parks ok i spose......everythink is to spread apart which means u have to push off alot. watch out for boomerangs!
the best thing bout this park.. is the NofX tag on the bitchumen, near the rail. check it out

Could be worse...
I'm told that this park is currently being replaced. A new park is under construction at this site. It should be open soon.
second park I ever skated in Australia and easily one of the worst. Hope the new one is better.
Has been resurfaced and re burnt already
Hey Steve Buddle, good to see you're still skating mate!
Updates: Concrete surface to replace the old bitumen, plus a couple of minor changes.
