It doesn’t get much better than a brand-new skate park right here on the North Shore! Blackman Skate Park in Lane Cove opened on 24 April 2024 with a mini ramp, central spine, quarter pipe, tight quarter pip, flat bank hip and mellow bank to keep kids of all ages entertained.
The newly upgraded Blackman Skatepark in Lane Cove has been built over the existing skatepark to make way for more challenging elements. Blackman Skatepark is bigger and better than before accommodating spectators and a range skateboarder.
