Leederville Skate Park

One of the largest parks in Perth and the home base of the WA skate association: a Convic-built concrete park with two bowls linked by a submarine, quarters, blocks and rails, plus a mini ramp and lights. Open 24 hours, 350 metres from Leederville station, and a short ride from Beyond Skate's indoor park and clinics in North Perth.

Leederville sits beside the YMCA’s HQ youth centre in the heart of the suburb, which makes it unusually easy to reach without a car: the train station is 350 metres away, and if you do drive there is an hour’s free parking with a ticket next to the park. The two bowls joined by a submarine are the signature, but the mini ramp, quarters and blocks give you plenty of lower-commitment terrain, and the lights and 24-hour access mean you can pick the quiet hours.

The WA skate association calls it smooth and well built; a directory listing notes some metal-framed elements alongside the concrete. For a lesson before you commit to the bowls, Beyond Skate in North Perth runs clinics on its own indoor park and is the natural shop to pair with this one.
