What We Thought of Coorparoo Skatepark and The Common Park

We thought this park was a real treasure. We loved the mix of play and sporting options available in the one location.

The scooter track was a big hit with my four-year-old as it was a great mix of smooth flats and challenging obstacles he could choose to engage with or ride around.

I had no trouble finding parking on my visit but, due to its location I imagine parking could be difficult during busy times.
