The Helensvale Skatepark is popular with Scooter Riders, especially outside of school hours. The surface is a bit rough, and the transitions mild, so it keeps the skateboarders away. But it’s ok to ride on bigger wheels. This is a healthy size park with some good lines and some sick locals.
HELENSVALE SKATEPARK ELEMENTS
The skatepark has a range of elements ranging from 3ft transitions to 6ft. On one side you have mild transition quarters and banks at around 5ft and going down to 3-4ft. They sit out and transition at different spots. In the middle there’s a spine, one section thinner than the other. Then on the other side there’s 3-4ft mild quarters. In the middle of the park there’s a half pyramid fun box with a launch pad. There’s also a wedge ramp with rail. Moving around further there’s a 5ft cut circular bowl that tops out at 5ft. This concrete skate park is painted all round and has metal coping in most places. The platforms are wide and open.
WHAT’S AROUND
Helensvale is right next to a school, so it can pretty busy of an afternoon. It has a few facilities like a shade sail, seating, tables, drinking water and toilets. There’s also a park and tennis courts in the surrounds. There’s a convenience store around 100m up the road and a bus stops right next to the park. Helensvale Westfield and Train Station are a few kilometres down the road.
