Skateboarders, whose skate park was dislodged because of the Vic Park tunnel project, have finally got a new playground.

Auckland City Council, with NZTA funding, has now opened a temporary skate park in Victoria Park.

Located in the unused southern bowling green of the Victoria Park Bowling Club, the temporary park offers facilities for both BMX riders and skateboarders, and includes two quarter pipes, a medium grind box and a mini ramp.

A new permanent skate park will be built at its former location after the tunnel is completed.
