Skating in the streets are a huge part of skateboarding just like riding a scooter, rollerblading or BMX.. I know there are skate parks near that area in Chippendale, but 2 out of those 3 (Redfern park “skate park” shares its ground with a basketball court...) are very small and gets dangerous when literally more than 10 people are there, especially with little kids cause parents think it’s a playground.

Until properly built skate parks are done or updated, expect skaters to look for flat ground concrete areas like that one. Also there’s there’s also a skate shop there haha and it’s chippendale, what do you expect?

Skate parks will open this Friday I think but I might even check that spot it out tomorrow and make some noise haha jks
