Skaters young and old, from groms to professionals, now have a new spot to practice their moves with the launch of The Lot Skatepark in Ballito.
This is a fresh, community-driven space set in the Ballito Junction Regional Mall, built around one core idea: making skateboarding accessible and fun.
This is the ideal space for:
- Beginners can build confidence in a safe environment
- Kids and teens can learn new skills through structured coaching
- Experienced riders can push their limits during open sessions
- Families and friends can connect through something active and different
With a strong focus on progression, the park offers hands-on support, coaching, and an inviting atmosphere that encourages everyone to give it a go.
What you can do at The Lot
Whether you’re just starting out or already comfortable on a board, there’s something for every level:
- Open skate sessions for more experienced riders
- Group lessons (beginner, intermediate, and adult)
- Private coaching for focused skill-building
- Birthday parties and private hire for a unique celebration
- Mobile skatepark experiences that can be brought to schools or events
There’s even a fully stocked skate shop on-site, so you can gear up without leaving the park. The bigger vision is to grow this into one of South Africa’s most exciting skate communities, right on the KZN North Coast.
