The park has a 4 metres (13 feet) vert ramp with extensions and 18 metres (59 feet) wide, making it one of the biggest vert ramps in the Southern Hemisphere. The park also has a large bowl as well as a beginners’ bowl, rails, small quarters and a street circuit. Lights enable safe evening skating. The park also contains a dirt BMX track with a series of jumps. Tony Hawk visited the park in 2009.

The ramp and bowls were designed and built commencing in 2000, and include a kiosk and BBQ facilities. The BMX track was added in 2004. Secondary school students were involved in the construction of the park and its various stages.[2]

The skate park hosts regular events, including the first South Australian pro scooter competition on 16 and 17 March 2013.
