Clendon Skate Park

Good old Clendon skate park. Located in possibly the dodgiest of places in Auckland, this skate park really is a well constructed beauty. It has a great design for beginners and advanced skaters alike. The concrete is smooth and flat, there are a number of different obstacles like rails, quarter pipes, mini half pipe, flat banks, ledges etc. and pretty much all corners have a metal coating that you can grind. My mates and I used to come here quite often because most things are at a level suitable for us crap skaters. After school hours though this skate park gets very busy, so try and come earlier on a weekday. One time, some kid told us that there was going to be a gang fight here later in the day. I didn’t realise that gangs had the organisational skills to schedule upcoming fights, but we didn’t stick around to check it out.
