About NZSKATESPOTS.com

WHAT IS NZSKATESPOTS ?

NZSKATESPOTS aims to create the most complete directory of all skateable spots across the whole of Aotearoa NZ.
We have the largest list of verified skate spots in New Zealand and that list only continues to grow.
A platform that allows the discovery & sharing of skateparks, street spots & skate shop information.

WHY ?

Because a complete list did not exist and it should.
As a skater who road trips, having a skate spot directory and map guide is invaluable.
Various existing resources are incomplete, outdated or difficult to navigate - we're building a modern, user-friendly solution that actually works for skaters on the go.
Skate spots are generally local knowledge so unless your local or searching when travelling you won't know of them
We want to take your local knowledge & make it available to the broader skateboarding community.

F.A.Q

Will you let me add ratings or reviews : No... Skatepark experiences are deeply personal. A beginners perfect park is an experts boring layout and vice versa. They oversimplify and are unreliable due to subjectivity. Skill, experience and expectations create too much variance. We can all see from the pics if the park is great or horrible. If in doubt, go skate it and experience it, a day out skating is always a good day.
I heard there are secret spots, where are they listed : ... The first rule of skate club is ...
What is one of the best thing you've seen / heard at the skatepark : I don't want to be scared anymore... Drops in. Pure joy and smiles from here to Africa.
