Ramp parks
Ramp parks in the Redlands are interesting and varied in design. Whether you ride skateboards, bikes or in-line skates, they offer a variety of challenges for all levels.
Our newest ramp park is at the Redland Youth Plaza on Old Cleveland Road, Capalaba. This is a world-class facility with integrated youth space offering excellent facilities.
