It's at Paraparaumu Beach, about 55km north of Wellington. It used to have a big vert ramp which I used to ride in my late teens. I could get to the top pumping (about 12-13') but never had the guts to drop in on it. Updated post with link to map. It’s at Paraparaumu Beach, about 55km north of Wellington.

Where is that in Wellington exactly? I got back into skating because there's a fantastic old skate park in Mountain View CA that's an 80's style 'swimming pool' with roll in edges and three deep bowls joined by various hips. I used to work 5 minutes drive from it and tear out there most mornings and lunchtimes for a skate. Being an old fella lacking any tricks the modern parks with all their coping, stairs and rails kinda leave me a bit cold. I do like a nice concrete sweep or a half pipe though...
