Frankston Skatepark

This is probably the sickest skatepark I've ever been to. The place is super smooth with a good mix of street spots and transitions. The street course is on 3 levels, so you can pump down through the park hitting ledges or stairs.
The main bowl is super big; 6 feet deep in the shallow and about 11 feet in the deep.
I only saw one BMXer and no roller-bladers, which was such a change from English skateparks.
They were still fixing up some parts of the park but everyone just skated round the maintenance guys.

Most of the skaters look like Baker kids with skin tight jeans and punk rock tee-shirts. Dustin Dollin comes from Melbourne so I guess he's the local hero.
