Kootingal Skatepark in rural NSW offers a nostalgic skating experience with its old-school charm, but its petite size can be limiting for those seeking more expansive terrain. As a skater, I appreciate the park’s classic design, featuring banks that provide a smooth ride and quarters that add a touch of variety to the session. The inclusion of a couple of street features enhances the overall experience, catering to both transition and street-style skaters. While the park’s age is evident, it offers a unique charm that resonates with riders who appreciate the roots of skateboarding. Perfect for a quick and casual session, though riders seeking more space might find it a bit cramped.
