Description
There will hopefully be plenty of muggles where you find this locationless skateboard park 'cache'.
As opposed to a 'waymark', this cache needs to be within walking distance of an actual geocache - whether you have found it or not!!
Most suburbs and towns have an official skate/bike park where the locals practice, and provide us nurses with a few injuries to patch up. I will accept those unofficial jumps that locals have built in the area as well.
To log this as a FIND, please include a photo of the skate park, either with yourself and GPSr in it, or with some adventuresome skater. AND, it MUST be within walking distance (that means YOU have walked it) from a local geocache. Give the coordinates of the skate park in the log, and the name or code of the local geocache/s you have looked for. Also, a general description of the park conditions.
For logging as a NOTE, please give the coordinates, hopefully take a photo, and give a description of the park.
As a continuation of my 'Dance' themed caches, you're welcome to video yourself doing some 'Free-Style' dance moves a'la Matt Harding, for the GeoMonkeys' GA0510 cache, http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0510

I was here early so this skate park was not in use except as I was leaving there was one young person enhancing the art work with a spray can.
There are two caches close by. GC97PVM Le Fou is less than 200 metres from where the photo was taken. Three other caches would be within 400 metres.

Was looking back through some older locationless caches this evening and came across this one.
Last week I took a photograph of the skate park at Evandale in Tasmania, for a specific cache, but I didn't end up using it as I also had one from today at Sheffield.
This skatepark is right next to the primary school at Evandale at S41 34.037 E147 14.700. The nearest cache, which we have found in the past is Evandale to Launceston Water Supply Scheme - Historic Engineering Marker #63 GA7741, a virtual cache which can be found less than 5 minutes away at S41 34.121 E147 14.607.

This is the skatepark at Tyalgum NSW. The closest cache is GC3N5F8 Jelly Beans from The Lolly Bag Loop but since the nearby sports field was muggle central for Australia Day I don't think anyone would have searched for it. We had lunch at a picnic table right next to the park so got to watch several kids 'play on it' The most popular trick seemed to be down one ramp, jump over a bump in the middle then up the ramp on the other side. I don't know the exact terms since I am an adventure bear not a skaterbear. Maybe one day I ought to borrow a board and have a go.
Thank you for the locationless.

The cache that was hidden here was called 'Behind the 8 Ball' - it was hanging between the boards of the sign seen in the photo. So of course we had to time our visit here when no muggle skateboarders were around.

This is the skate park at Betty Diamond Park in Tugun. It was recently renovated at cost of $750k. On the Sunday morning we visited there were lots of families enjoying the park.
This park is within walking distance of the gc.com cache GC1W1GZ Plane Spotter. Also in shot is Ge-Gnarly one of the movables from the gnome race.
It was a great park with a variety bowls, pipes and boxes.

This is the Riverwood Skate Park, part of the Salt Pan Creek Reserve, which also conveniently has three caches within walking distance (Salt Pan Reserve 1 - GC33QY0, Salt Pan Reserve 2 - GC33QY1, Salt Pan Reserve 3 - GC33QY2). The skate park is used by little kids and bigger ones too and offers options for all skaters. I've been here many times but I'm logging on the date the photo was taken. I found the caches at other times.

I drove out to the Darwin Passenger Terminal where the Ghan passenger train to and from Adelaide runs. This Prime Mover was parked here with his engine running to keep the air con on. This was the second day in a row I saw this truck here. I saw him leave the day before so he must do night runs. TFTC

This skate Bowl is located in Mundubbera Qld in a park that runs between the Highway West and the Main street. The area has a few different sporting grounds and a children's park and playground. The park is kept in good order and on the day of my visit very neat and clean. There are two caches 5 and 10 minutes walk away. GC4X1X0 How High and GC4X1XP Totem and I was the FTF on both.

This park is in Nth Richmond and was built after the whole community especially Hanna Match decided to create a park from river front land that was great fun for hide and seek and taking your kids exploring but then we all pulled together and built and planted and cleaned we all had fun. Eventually the park was finished and then eventually they built the skate ramps.
My kids played there for years till they grew up now with Bubbies on the way they will be able to take their kids there. Fun place.
Thanks Acko

Found at the site of a virtual cache (http://coord.info/GC4BC0) in Louisville Kentucky at a skateboard park.
In the background of this photo is a WWI memorial. Hidden on one of the canons is the cache GCWETA "Blast It!" In the foreground is the Campbell Town skate park - you can see part of the park and the skate park sign.
This was quite unexpected on the way to find 2 close by caches GC3VQ9H and GC3VQ9R in Davies Park at the end of Davies Road in Springwood in the Blue Mountains.
This bike park is obviously strictly for the locals but it has well made jumps and tracks and even has a starting ramp.

Love the premise for this Locationless cache. We have placed our own cache called Freestyle (GC37JCA) at the given coordinates themed on a dirt bowl, which we call Helmet Bowl, for mountain bike riders. It is relatively close to home where we have taught our kids "extreme" riding, which is really about overcoming a bit of fear and developing confidence on your bike. In the period before placing the cache, we had been past many time to find local kids zooming back and forth, up and down across the bowl. Our kids helmets have been used a couple of times here, hence the name.
The attached photo features The Split, geoboy cacher aged 8, riding at Helmet Bowl which is also GZ for GC37JCA "Freestyle". Thanks for the locationless cache.

This Skate Park is located at The Bluff recreation area in Devonport. In our youth it was a 20m swimming pool which when maintenance became too costly for the local council was filled in and a small skate facility built. Recently local youth worked with the council to upgrade the skate park along with the redevelopment of the playground, nearby picnic facilities and the surf club.
Today there were plenty of kids (nearly all boys) skate-boarding, scootering and BMX riding.
Found this skate park near 'The Rogers Trail' GC214R5, near Highfields in southern Queensland, while up at Toowoomba for Easterfest.
However the locals were cagey about having their photos taken,
so they took one of me - LOL

389. The local Weston Creek skate park. My niece went out with a few sk8er bois so I'm hip with all that jazz 'n' stuff like wow. This is fairly recent probably only 3-4 years old but tonight there are none willing to brave the wet. Not as ornate as some but still worthy of a commemorative shrine.
The nearest cache that I can divulge the name of is Stirling Silver GC2P202. It's around 400m away.

This is a relatively new skatepark on Hawkesbury Road, Winmalee, NSW. Seems popular - there always seem to be kids here playing whenever I've gone past.
Nearby caches - from where I am sitting in the photo attached to this log I can see Summerhayes #2 (GC291AB). Well, it's a nano, so I can't actually see the cache, but I can see the location. Maybe a 30 second walk.
Summerhayes #1 (GC28167) is perhaps 5 minutes walk away, closer to where you would probably park to pick up these 2 caches. Summerhayes Park is home to our local football and netball clubs. It also has a fairly good play area for children. Unfortunately the toilets are usually locked, unless there is a game on.
Woylies of Winmalee (GC2674B) is also within walking distance. It would normally be accessed via Hawkesbury Rd, but there is a back entrance into this location from Summerhayes Park.
Finally I think I Suffer for my Art (GC2AEPM) would also be within walking distance but I haven't found this one yet to confirm that.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 64 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, exploring around Bowen and hunting down GC2B560 CATALINA!! by HDSpringer on The Strand in Bowen and came across this skate park further along The Strand.
This skate park is the best looking one I ve ever seen. There were a family of young kids from NSW having a ball on the half pipe even though they didn't have a wheel between them. The local kids had gone back to school, but they still had a week to go. I went past the previous afternoon after school hours and the place was packed.

Campbelltown Skate Park. It was in good use so we didn't venture too close to take the pic as there were some watchful parents about. We found this on our way to GA1421 "skippy", which was 63m away when we took the photo. We did find the cache, amazing as it hadn't been found for 57 weeks. The skate park is in good nick and is very colourfully graffiti'd.
The Belconnen skate park. I haven't been here for years. In the 90s it was the after dark blade destination of choice. Out of the donut I managed 1m jumps, not much but it seemed a long way up. Albida.

The park was developed in 2001 by the City of Moonee Valley, with the support of the Federal Government, to celebrate the centenary of federation. As you can see from the photo, it is complete with the customary graffiti! There are shelters in the park, along with playground equipment for the younger kids. There are a few caches within walking distance, including:
- A Rose by Any Other Name;
- Valley Lake #1, Bridge;
- Valley Lake #2, Clifftop;
- Valley Lake #3, Lakeside.
This photo was taken early in the morning, hence the deserted park. However, it's normally full of keen skaters and bikers. Enjoy!

This is the only skate park in Nanango. There is a covered play ground close by as well as the local indoor heated 25meter Aquatic Centre. The park is generally in a neat and tidy condition but the actual concrete of the skate bowl is covered with grafitti. GC1DM80 "Nanango murals" is the multi cache that is close to this park. You can walk to all 11 murals required to find GZ in about one hour and about 1klm in distance. I have done it. This cache is maintained by me. Two of the murals can be seen from this park.

Harrington Skate Park.
GC13H9G- Harrington Trig Station is very close but just up the hill.
There is nothing very special about the skate park but you could still have fun on it though.
MY 200TH FIND!!!!11

WanderingAus wandered by on a maintenance run to fix up GC1M76P WanAus 67 - Peter Ellis Park and came across this skate park 100 metres from the cache.
The skate park is located near the Leeming Community Centre, and has half pipes, grind rails and all the other popular items.

The Newport Skate Park is in the same park as Seesaw, which I couldn't find. Due to the 38 degree heat there wasn't a lot of activity here tday, but there was some.
WanderingAus wandered by on a run to fill in some of the nanos and micros I'd avoided while caching with the geograndkids, and came across this skate park in Faulkner Park Belmont. GC1VT39 MMMM - Zig Zag by the_robots is 630 CroMs from the skate park.
The skate park is located near the aquatic centre, and has half pipes, humps, grind rails and all the other popular items. There are also two gazebos with seating, and parking and toilets nearby. I think it's the biggest skate park I've seen, I had to stand a long way back and use full wide angle to get it all in.

Whilst attempting a multi cache "The Narre Warren Nine - Sk8r Boi" we came across this unoccupied skate park. Unfortunately it was left a mess from previous users as there was rubbish scattered everywhere. We actually happened to be standing at the WP1 site and the cache was located about 70m away.

WanderingAus wandered by on a maintenance run after a 4 month long "climatic refugee" trip, and had to go past one of the local skate parks not far from home.
The skate park is located in Jean Garvey Park, Ashburton Drive, Gosnells WA, and has half pipes, humps, grind rails and all the other popular items, and is very popular with the young folk. It is even floodlit at night, how good is that? Of course if you're not into skating etc there is always my cache nearby, GC177G5 WanAus 13 - Jean Garvey Park.

This skate park is not far from my house. There is also a gym & swimming pool complex, library, sports centre and youth centre here. As well as a large park & lake.
The nearest cache is GC1XAHY: Cycle Mania - Altone Park, which uses the same carpark of the rec centre, and is less than 250m away. Definitely walking distance.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 99 of a "climatic refugee" trip, unsuccessfully hunting down GCWQDG Water Reed Falls by emeryco
, but found this strange skate park nearby so all was not lost.
The skate park is located in Collins Reserve, Fulham Gardens SA, and seems to be two similar large depressions with hills in the middle, and a couple of grind rails, but the young blokes there seemed to be enjoying it.

Found this SUPER skate park along the esplanade in Cairns - it seems to have all a skateboarder would desire, including rails and metal edging along the concrete surrounds (and is certainly used!). So if you are headed to Cairns and are a keen skater, you've GOT to see this!!!
We walked from the south via Camels on the 'Nard GC1NKMX and KINGFISHER
GCZA8V but Platy's Mob Juniors Caching Endeavours GC16PN7 which we drove to in the heat is also nearby.

WanderingAus wandered by on a "climatic refugee" trip, unsuccessfully hunting down GC1BPHB Leanyer Recreation Park by caffiend42, but I was very impressed by the playground and other facilities at Leanyer Recreation Park. The park is located on Vanderlin Drive Leanyer, a suburb of Darwin.
This skate park is the biggest I've ever seen, and surprisingly it was unoccupied when I swung past to take some photos. It's almost half a century since I last had skates on, and my bones are a lot more fragile now, so I decided not to try out the facilities.

After an unsuccessful search for http://coord.info/GCXGXY I walked through the park to the Victor Harbor skate park.
There was no-one there which was a surprise but then I realised that it was a Wednesday and most skaters would have been in school.
This skate ramp is only a couple of years old and is very popular. The interesting thing about it are that it was built in sight of the main road into Victor Harbor and so the skaters are under constant public view, which makes it a very good ramp. Younger children are able to use it as well as the older ones. Next to it the Victor Harbor council have built a teens playground.

This is Berry's SK8 park. Being by myself I thought it best to photograph the park when there was no one about - my son still SK8s however has long left home. The park has all the usual features such as bowls, grind bar, jumps, graffiti & is very popular. The committee responsible for its design included local youth. There is sheltered seating & the surrounds were clean. There is a GC cache < 100 metres away - Quality & you can also log a GCA cache based on BBQs, again < 100 metres away. My GPSr is sitting on the grind bar. Thanks.

This is a skate park near GC1BKM6 K6-05 Alexandra Hills Skate Park, which is in the bushland nearby. We went to the cache today to drop off a couple of travel bugs.
The skate park consisted of two bowl shape things (I dont know about it sorry) which I think might be called half pipes??? Anyhow it is always popular and as you can see in the photos was busy today.

This is the Bushland Beach Skate Park in Townsville,Nth Qld.The park has only been open for a few months so it's in good condition and well maintained by the local council.My kids tell me it's the best one in Townsville with a large bowl,grind rails,boxes,ramps,quarter pipes and a vert wall.I have a cache located at Mt. Low,which by coincidence is named "Mt. Low" (GC19JEJ), about 570m away.I didn't walk it today but have done in the past.Thanks for the cache.
