Bairnsdale Old Skate Park
NEAR ME SHARE
Half cut-down vert ramp - it's a killer. They did a really good job of cutting it down - the coping is perfect. A must stop ! They have also added a metal street course with some crazy lines.

Do not be fooled by the fool-fooling photo! The park had a fresh base of concrete laid down over a year ago, creating a base with enormous potential, as it was of a huge scale. The bad news? Well... Those handsome BMX fellas thought they would take the liberty to design the park themselves, resulting in shoddy, behemoth metal ramps, inexplicable metallic blocks with petruding coping, ideal for homosexual bike pedals yet ultimately usless for productive skating, and puddles of tears filled by the weeps and cries of people hoping for a decent park. Each time I visit this disappointing premises, I feel as though 12-foot-tall aliens constructed it. The ramps are all needlessly 3-times-bigger than usual and most of the ledges and rails seem impossible to breach. Now, to completely contradict myself, there are some blissful lines hiding amongst the impoverished piles of garbage or 'ramps' as the locals call them. It has actually yielded some sentimental, talented skaters who have triumphed over the parks literal obstacles and now have a incredulous array of obscure tricks and optimistic attitude. I would classify this park as a one-dayer, unless you specialise in ramp-skating. Actually, vert skaters would probably distill alot of joy from this park, but I doubt the love would last. My main opinion and conception is, a tremendous let-down for a town that had been patiently awaiting it so long. Poor little dudes.
the ramps aren't too big except theres one thats about seven foot high and a million feet long. it would be good if the ramps connected with the ground smoothly in stead of hitting it at a 30 dgree angle which screws up ur balance and momentum. its quite a fast park and should be easy to find some good lines.
Yeah theres approximately one billion XTREME GAYMES BMdickheadX'ers and its metal and it disturbed me greatly. I feel for those poor skaters, hope they all move eventually
Lets get it straight here, park was not designed by bmxers but by skaters, bmxers and the council. We pushed for a cement park but they wouldnt give it to us and to top it all off had an "engineer" design our "ramps" for us. with no transition at the bottoms and ramps that are four feet too tall with death gaps in the hips. Having said all that we are going to arms next year for a permenant park and not this semi-permanant crap that has claimed many victims on its surface. We are trying to rival warragul in terms of user friendlyness and straight up good design.
Yeah its a great design but its metal much better if it was concrete + - Joel Petzke is gay
tits shit fuckn helly plop bingo
it's kind of wird!
The ramps look cool!
i like dick
the halfpipe is now gone as it was getting rusty and the skate/bmx crew has been busy designing a new mini ramp with some cool features. lets hope the council/engineers dont fuck this up
Are the bank and quarter next to the half pipe still there? If they're not, this park sucks even more due to a lack of ramps in one corner. This park should only be worth 2 or 3 stars because of the size of those bike orientated banks and hips.
fukin hell how can one park get soo good thats like the best park ive ever seen
