Turangi located South-west of Taupo has had a new skatepark built as part of the development of a Youth Play Area in walking distance from the main town centre. This skatepark consists of a street skating area that flows into a bowled out mini ramp with extension and stepped seating adjacent. Several skate obstacles depicting volcano-like shapes or eruptions connect to its location within the North Island Volcanic Plateau of New Zealand. A good variety of skate obstacles have been included in the design while integrating well with other surrounding facilities.
"Albany skatepark is very fun with creative lines and a little street area with ramps, ledges, stairs, quarter pipe and manual pads."
