$2,000,000 Well Spent!

[@LeonPaxton]

Which skatepark out of Leichhardt or Sydenham was a better use of $2,000,000?

[@mattdestroyer77]

Sydenham.

[@adamstarr9369]

I went just after the opening weekend to Leichhardt park... It was a bastard of a skate just to get there, shitty roads and pathways and then it sucked. Not worth the skate.

[@LeonPaxton]

@@mattdestroyer77 Agreed lol

[@LeonPaxton]

@@adamstarr9369 Not at all man! It's great that they finally got a skatepark built there but damn they could have done way better lol

[@dandan3275]

Cam is a legend .... he n the local boys added some diy 4 x to the park....but council took them all away ...shouts to Shano n Cam for frontn up cash designing and installing ....appreciate the vids Paxton

[@LeonPaxton]

Yeh dude, he’s such a legend! It’s a shame that the council keep taking them out though 👎🏽 Thanks dude, thanks so much for watching 🙏🏽

[@dadboard]

No shortage of amazing looking parks down under! At least from what I’ve seen on your channel. Would love to see some tours of the worst ones you have nearby, if thee are any lol.

[@LeonPaxton]

Oh dude, we are super spoilt here inSydney! But don't be fooled, for every good skatepark here there are at least 5 disgusting ones around the same area 😂

[@billzkarl]

Come to the blue mountains there all pretty bad 😂

[@hufass]

broke my toe here months back doing a simple pop shuv lmao..I was there a week ago and those ride ons weren't there might have to go give them a try.

[@LeonPaxton]

Aww dude, that sucks! They have actually been ripped out since filming this video 🥲

[@slambslambslamb5414]

I actually broke my toe there a few months back too. Was just warming up and BS powerslid over the bank to bank, came off at a decent speed and ate it. Also never got to hit the DIY stuff that was cemented in. There is now a DIY ride on round flat bar that you can move on and off the park. Maybe thats the compromise with the council?

[@andinarcadiai]

Ripping skating in this one! I love that park. The planes are part of the vibe and can make for some cool footage if you time it right. The only thing that I don't like is the amount of exhaust you'll breathe in from all of the cars during peak traffic times.

[@LeonPaxton]

Thanks dude! That's true too actually, always good intro to a clip lol Yeah that and the ringing ears from the planes is all the negatives that I've found 🤔

[@95airgabriel]

ride on smith 180 was tight!

[@LeonPaxton]

Thank you! I was actually so scared of that one lol

[@mattdestroyer77]

I hope the council doesn't remove the ride-on rails🤞I think I'm going to go this weekend.

[@ichista]

What a difference from the other park but I still don't see 2mil maybe I should start building parks haha

[@LeonPaxton]

This park is way closer to being a $2 million skatepark compared to Leichhardt though 😂

[@ichista]

@@LeonPaxton your right but it's still filling someones pockets let's be real hahaha

[@kennynewell85]

Another great video.

[@LeonPaxton]

Thanks dude, appreciate you!

[@jonoedwards4195]

Your Switch is unreal!

[@LeonPaxton]

Thanks dude! Switch front boards are one of my favourite rail tricks 🙏🏼

[@21chicko]

Is the 2mill including the land? If not someone is lining their pockets.

[@boosts14]

Ever paid to get a concrete drive way? Might open your eyes how expensive even basic concrete work is. Easy half that money went into wages also. Materials, labour, insurances, blah blah. It’s all justified in detailed quotes which the council would have demanded before approval. Also companies have to turn a profit. 2mil doesn’t go far these days.

[@LeonPaxton]

That's a good question man, I've never thought about if they have to purchase the land before building 🤔

[@LeonPaxton]

@@boosts14 It definitely adds up!

[@hudson109]

And Newcastle gets one half decent one skatepark out of every 5 new ones haha

[@LeonPaxton]

Amazing street spots out there though 🙌🏼

I'm a local and it's my favourite Sydney skate park by far🤘

Hell yeah dude. it's such a good park!

[@deltabravo86a46]

I went to Oran Park skatepark today nice park but jeeeeez I barely got to skate to worried about running into scooter riders and parents who decide to sit on the grinding ledges with prams absolutely freaking nuts!!!!! I’m going to stick to Leumeah I think

[@LeonPaxton]

Oh dude, it's horrible! Most parks are like that on weekends too and the parents are just so oblivious lol

[@deltabravo86a46]

@@LeonPaxton hahaha so true I took my daughter there on her scooter I’m teaching her to wait and be careful of other riders etc. By the way my new thunder trucks came I put them on the board with the new reds bearings in my old wheels there so sweet!!!!

Damn we need more parents like you out there! Hell yeah man, sounds sick!

you could build 10x the park for 2 mil here in the US

Yeah dude fully! We have 2 more amazing parks being built at the moment too lol

[@hamishtayl0r]

bro them rails are gone now

[@LeonPaxton]

Yeah I think they got ripped out a few days after I filmed this 👎🏽

[@adamstarr9369]

Council removed the rails weeks ago the bastards. These were the second round of rails they took out too! I don't know why the locals can't add to the park, it's ours isn't it?

[@LeonPaxton]

Yeah dude, I should have mentioned that the rails were removed since filming this video 👎🏽 It's so annoying but I think the council remove them because they weren't approved or installed by their own construction team? I'm sure there is a lot more going on behind the scenes but shout out to Cam for continuing to build these cool spots knowing that they will eventually get ripped out 🙌🏼
