Emerald is a town located in the Central Highlands region of Queensland. It’s situated in the Bowen Basin, which is a major coal-producing area in Australia. The town’s economy is closely tied to mining, and it serves as a hub for both agriculture and resource extraction.

The Emerald Skatepark features a large smooth concrete surface with a bunch of transition features in an open-flow arrangement. Obstacles include banks, a spine, quarters, a 1/4 bowl, a ledge and a mini ramp. A fun park to roll around and streach your legs.
