Discover this hidden skatepark in the heart of Victoria

Having secret spots when you’re a skater, a surfer, or a snowboarder is a sacred thing.

Guarding secret spots is crucial, as they represent more than just a location; they’re a haven. The thrill of discovery acts as a rite of passage, and it’s a nod to the underground culture where these sports were born.

Here’s a video from Victoria skateboarding troupe Sixside DIY from 2017. Maybe you’ll recognize where it is.
