Spliff Park, nestled in Footscray, Victoria, just north of Melbourne, offers a modest yet vibrant skating experience. The skatepark, designed as a circuit loop, hosts an array of pre-fabricated obstacles catering to beginners. Among these are a spine, a couple of euro-gaps, and a mound, providing ample opportunities for tricks and maneuvers.
Situated atop a rough tar surface, formerly a car park, the park has transformed into a recreational haven. Alongside the skatepark, visitors can enjoy a basketball court, seating areas, and children’s play equipment, adding to the park’s appeal as a community hub.
Despite its small size, Spliff Park embodies the concept of Minimal Viable Product (MVP) in skatepark design, offering essential features without excess cost. It’s worth noting that this “MVP” shouldn’t be confused with the sports term. In essence, Spliff Park provides a functional and enjoyable space for skaters and families alike amidst the urban landscape of Footscray.
