Best skateparks in Hong Kong

Previously an area reserved only for BMX (Bicycle Motocross) bikers; the Po Kong Village Road Skatepark is now open for passionate skaters too. Featuring a similar replica of Sydney’s famed Bondi skate bowl, ramps of different gradients, plus several half-pipes and ledges, this world-class skatepark has a little something for every skater, whether you’re a beginner or a pro. Along with various park facilities such as floodlights and changing rooms, this concrete wonderland is hands down one of Hong Kong’s top skateparks.

This Fanling skatepark may be a little out of the way for most, but we’ll definitely give it points for having the smoothest concrete grounds on this list. Constructed with a whopping $51 million price tag, this gem in the New Territories allows skaters to roll through ramps and pick up new tricks with speed. Along with sets of skating bowls as well as rails and ledges, the park makes for a perfect hangout spot for the thrill-seeking crowd.

You can also book skateboarding classes taught by professional skateboarding instructors from All Hong Kong Skateboards Association (AHKSA) or book the venue for birthdays or private parties.

If you are a newbie to the local skateboarding scene, Morrison Hill Road Playground is the place to be. One of the longest standing skateparks in town, it mainly features rails and flat sections that accommodate beginners.
