Bellbowrie Skate Park

A fabulous skate park can be found in the nearby Stegeman Sporting Complex which is about 500 metres from the main Booker Place Park playground. You can walk between the two but unless your kids are old enough to ride the whole way or carry their own gear, it’s much easier to drive around to Sugarwood Street.

The newly refurbished skate park features traditional and street style equipment including a banked hip and ledge, a flow bowl transition section, a concrete roll-over and flow section, a free-standing quarter pipe and an adjoining scooter track.

This medium-sized skate park is suitable for beginners and intermediates and according to locals is especially popular with young scooter riders.

While visiting the sporting complex area you could also try your hand at some ball sports on the adjacent basketball court and rebound wall.

What We Thought of Booker Place Park

We love this park for its its nature theme and lots of opportunities for climbing, running and sliding. The little ones love sitting on the ‘you and me’ swing facing mum or dad and enjoying lots of giggles.

The older children, who always have plenty of energy, bring their scooters and spend ages doing tricks at the skate park. Kicking a ball on the grassy space is always fun too.

As a parent, I love there is plenty of shade, lots of trees and something to keep all members of the family occupied (including me and the dog).
