The concrete pump tack is less than a meter wide, but when you get rolling with some speed, it is surprisingly easy to stay on. In saying that, it is still not for the faint-hearted and is more commonly used by bikes and scooter, rather than skateboarders. The skatepark is located in the middle of Hillview Community Reserve and is roughly a 200m walk from the nearest car park. There is plenty of shade and a couple of sturdy tables next to the track and considering it rarely gets much use, it’s a perfect place to bring your pick nick and settle in for the afternoon because you will almost certainly have it to yourself.
