Blackman Park Skate Park

Last updated April 2026

Blackman Park Skate Park in Lane Cove West is a local favourite where Sydney kids can practise kickflips, ollies, and spins on smooth concrete ramps and bowls. The park’s wide-open layout makes it easy for beginners to cruise while more confident skaters hit the mini-vert and bowl sections. Parents love the shaded picnic areas and wide paths that let them keep an eye on little ones without feeling crowded. With plenty of space for scooters, bikes, and bladers too, it’s a rare spot where the whole crew can roll together. A quick trip from the city centre, it’s perfect for after-school sessions or weekend family shred sessions. **What to Bring** Closed-in shoes are a must—no thongs or sandals. Pack a water bottle and a light snack for after the session. Slip on a cap and sunscreen even on cloudy days. Bring a small hand pump if you’ve got your own board. **Best Age Range** Best for 6–16 year olds; younger siblings can use the smooth flat areas with close supervision. **Good to Know** Entry is free. Open 7am–6pm weekdays, 8am–6pm weekends; lights stay on after dusk in summer. Parking is free along Lloyd Rees Drive and nearby residential streets. Weekends get busy by mid-morning—arrive before 9am if you want a quieter ride. **Nearby** Take a five-minute drive to the shaded playground in Tambourine Bay Reserve, Lane Cove West for a post-skate snack break. **Tips From Other Parents** Go early on weekends—it gets packed by 10am. Bring a spare change of clothes; kids always end up with scuffed knees and dusty socks. If you’re introducing your child to skating, pack a skate helmet—it’s the one safety rule every parent swears by.
