A guide to the best skateparks in Hong Kong
1. Tseung Kwan O Skatepark, Hong Kong Velodrome Park
The Tseung Kwan O Skatepark inside Hong Kong Velodrome Park is easily the crème de la crème of the city’s skateparks. It was overseen by Convic, who’ve built over 700 of the best skate facilities in the world. There is plenty of variety here – a whole assortment of smoothly curved ramps, ledges, and rails. You’ll also find drinking fountains, changing facilities with showers, plus floodlights and a first aid room. It sits in a landscaped park with verdant grass to rest on after the session, too. Definitely one of the top skateparks in Hong Kong.

2. Morse Park (Park No. 4)
A fairly tiny skateboard and rollerblading rink, Morse Park is surrounded by fences and nets to protect visitor’s safety. With a launch ramp and two quarter pipes, this avenue is perfect for beginners looking to pick up basic moves.

3. On Lok Mun Street Playground
On Lok Mun Street Playground earns points for staying open the latest – the lights go out at 11pm so you can have a productive session after the sun goes down. However, it loses points for being so damn far away! Nevertheless, it’s worth the journey – this $51-million park has three sets of smooth bowls, plus rails and ledges. There are also drinking fountains, floodlights, and a first aid room.

5. Po Kong Village Road Park
Inside Po Kong Village Road Park in Diamond Hill is a world-class skatepark that features a perfect replica of Sydney’s famous Bondi skate bowl. The park has been designed to facilitate professional and international competitions, with facilities provided for beginners and intermediate skaters. But, since the security is quite tight here, remember to bring along your protective gear. There are ramps of various sizes, plus a few rails and ledges. Moreover, you can use the changing rooms, the drinking fountain, and floodlights too, making it one of the top skateparks in Hong Kong.

6. Kwai Shun Street Playground
Kwai Shun Street Playground is not only a heaven for skateboarders, but also for rollerbladers. Since the skateboard ground and the rollerskating rink are built under a bridge, visitors don’t have to worry about being exposed to the hot sun. The overall vibe of the playground feels very cool and calming, too.

Also known as the Kwun Tong Country Club, this indoor skatepark has been built in a former Kwun Tong factory space, and there are wooden ramps, rails, ledges, plus a retail area.
