Many thanks to Byron Shire Council for providing an awesome skate park at Bangalow!
Many skaters not just from around Australia, but from Europe, north and south America have been visiting the park.
Hopefully the council will soon provide the town of Byron Bay with an excellent park, hopefully with another swimming pool style bowl that is very popular, and Concrete Skate Parks will get to design and build another great park similar to Bangalow.
Perhaps not on the beachfront but there is the old bowl near the youth centre located on Lawson and Middleton streets that could be upgraded. A excellent place as opposed to the sports complex at Ewingsdale, many kilometres out of town, which would be no good to local businesses who would benefit from a park within the town itself.
Above is a photo of one of Australia’s top junior skaters, Keegan Palmer, doing a frontside air at Bangalow Park, taken by myself.
