Melbourne advise needed.

#1

Im going to be down in the fair city of Melbourne next weekend for my work Christmas Party [a day at the races}.Im going to have Friday 4th of Nov free to try and sample some of the great looking spots you guys have down there. Theres a good chance that one of my mates will be able to ferry me around but if he cant, Id appreciate any advice on the spots easiest to hit via public transport. Im going to be staying pretty much right in town, near the Botanic Gardens. Cheers,
Andy.

Coburg for Pool(ish) action, 5 minute skate from train

Northcote for great 90’s 6-7’ bowl action, 5 minute skate from tram

Prahran, needs no intro. lets just say 14’ of loving goodness, heaps of public transport.

if your into street, Riverside skatepark in the city is the go.

Fitzroy is worth a look too, 1 minute from tram

Type these names into the park locator on skateboard.com.au and they will give you exact addresses.

Newport should be open by then, haven’t skated it but it looks filth.

If you can con someone into drivingsouth for an hour or so (which I would strongly advise), Rye is my pick of bowls in the Melbourne area. 8’ of perfection and cradle to boot.
