Morrison Hill Road Playground

A lot of skaters love Morrison Hill Road Playground. Reason number one is that it’s close to the 8FIVE2 shop. The good folks at 8FIVE2 bring professional skaters to this park to go at flip tricks and just have a good time. Reason number two is it’s open for 24 hours daily. You can come here late at night and still find a lot of people skating. Reason number three is it’s a multi-​purpose park; inline skaters, BMX riders, and skateboarders alike can enjoy the park. What’s not to like?
This park used to be for cycling only but has since been renovated to accommodate different kinds of skaters. I have found longboarders also use this park because of the downhill loop track. The feeling of the rushing wind when you’re going fast is just surreal. If you don’t know what I mean, go and experience it for yourself or watch the documentary of San Diego’s Slomo, an op-​doc in conjuction with the New York Times.
As a skateboarder, tricks are optional, as the downhill loop is fun enough for me. I haven’t tried inline skating here but when I do buy a pair of rollerblades again, this is where I’ll first bring them for a try. After that, I’ll hit up the various waterfront promenades in the city.
The ledges can also be used for sliding and grinding tricks. The easiest way to get to the park is via Oi Kwan Road situated near the Queen Elizabeth Stadium. Helmets are compulsory for all sports activities.
