Prahran Skate Park reviews
13 It’s a great vibe and a great area for the young people to hangout in.
Love the graffiti art as well.
The thing that sets Prahran apart is it's different to a lot of other parks, sometime you have to get a bit creative there to really get the full experience. The mini is great, the vert is huge and there is plenty of angle iron on the ledges so your not just sliding on concrete. The park is the old rougher concrete so it does eat wheels faster than more modern parks and it does get crowded very quickly.
I have seen plenty of people mention not bringing your kids to Prahran and one of the reasons is the big Hubba at the stair set leading into the bowl area completely obscures the view of the right side of the bowl area from where most people start their line, you really can't see little ones until you are already at pace.
Have spent a fair bit of time here. Good for medium skill level skaters.not so good for kids. Has pretty high ramps and a large local skate crew that populate it most days. There's other places set up much better for kids.
Very fun park.do not bring small children on scooters though because it's very dangerous and they might get hurt
Its a very street orientated skatepark the only real form of park style riding is probably the metal vert ramp, metal quarter pipe and a very small flyout near the opposite side of the skatepark from where the vert is
Greatest park I visited since I was 15 that's 32 years ago. I still visit with my children and friends that are now pros on scooters
Small skatepark with some local history. Worth a skate if you haven't stopped by before. The mini ramp is solid, and it has one of the few vert ramps around for more experienced skaters
Council needs to clean up the people who sit around getting drunk, breaking bottles and smoking dope. This skatepark is no longer suitable for kids
I take my kids there and there's usually people drinking or smoking pot. Rubbish everywhere and no security. Great if you're an older skater but not family friendly
Great for skaters & basketball lovers.theres always something going on thereto entertain the local community
A nice park just off Chapel St. Pretty decent size. On the smaller end but not too small. There's something for everyone of all skill levels here.
A nefarious hang out for nefarious dudes. It's fun to watch them hustle their skills, but I'd keep a distance, there's always something dodgy going on here. I did have an intelligent conversation once with an enthusiastic and eager to impress young man, who delivered an oratory on how he was still recovering from his jubilant and excessive night prior, he insisted he was dedicated to his sport nonetheless and had to keep training despite the set back of his hangover. Bravo young chap, if only all young people held such discipline for their passions.
Great park. Worth visiting for a variety of activities and next door to the Prahran Aquatic center.
