This is a skatepark guide with a difference. The goal is simply to answer the question.. Where are we going to skate today?

The answer should always be Somewhere Good.

There's no point in having a guide that lists every skatepark under the sun. So, for the most part these are parks we visit with some regularity. There may be smaller parks included if they have something to offer that deviates from the norm or if they're particularly local to us here. This is also why the focus is solely on our home turf, the South West.

Let me know about mistakes, additions, demolitions and new projects by messaging me on here, or on the Sidewalk forum.
