Time Out says

For street skating specifically, Dreg is probably the strongest purpose-built park Bangkok has to offer. The obstacle lineup is genuinely comprehensive: stairs, rails, ledges, manual pads, hips, banks and great flat ground. There’s a skate shop on site, which keeps the whole thing feeling like an actual skate destination rather than just a concrete installation.

What makes Dreg more than just a solid park is the story behind it. Founded by skater-turned-coach Kai and his partners, DREG holds the distinction of being the first privately-owned skatepark in Thailand to open completely free of charge – no entry fee, no catches. Kai built it on borrowed money, driven purely by the need to give local skaters somewhere proper to skate near home. That spirit has stuck. The park runs with seven resident coaches, all old skating friends and has become a genuine community hub – families, beginners and serious skaters all sharing the same concrete.

The results speak for themselves. Thailand now has an Olympic skateboarder in Vareeraya "ST" Sukasem, who came up through the Dreg community and made it to Paris in 2024. Not a small thing for a free park in Nonthaburi.

The one honest gripe Mattias raises is the bowl, which 'could definitely use a rebuild'. Fair enough. But if it's the street you're after, Dreg delivers. Few parks anywhere cover the bases this thoroughly – and knowing what this place has produced, there's a weight to skating here that you don't always find.
