About the Skatepark
Birkenhead Skatepark is one piece of the multi-use Birkenhead War Memorial Park recreation complex on the North Shore. The skatepark sits alongside a BMX pump track on the same site — useful for families where one rider prefers conventional skate facilities and another wants the pump track. The pump track is rated for skilled riders rather than learners, with rolling jumps and tight turns that demand confident bike handling.
A drinking fountain is placed between the skatepark and the entry to the adjacent Birkenhead Pool and Leisure Centre. Beyond the skate facilities, the wider park has a playground, cricket nets and pitches, rugby fields, walking tracks, and the Pool and Leisure Centre (outdoor heated pool, fully-equipped gym, rock climbing — paid facility).
