Cowes is undoubtedly the best skatepark on Philip Island and, in our opinion, is up there with some of the best in Victoria. The open flow layout offers a super diverse way of utilising the space, thus appealing to a broad group of riders and vibers.
The concrete skatepark is street orientated with a few fun features in the middle and banks and quarters at each end. The concrete is still super smooth and is a breeze to scoot from one end to the other. Heaps of dope street features that are not too intimidating, along with various ledges and quarters.
When you are next on the island, don’t forget to pack your skateboard, bike or scooter because it is worth dropping into and going for a shred.
