Pearce Shops.
Pretty decent spot with a long curved rail out the back, but the run up is actually in someone’s backyard so be careful. There are some nice rails in one corner, watch yer head though.. Then out the front there’s a weird bench/ledge thing with a big drop on the other side, plus a polejam that needs some bolts taken off it, but that shouldn’t be too hard. Also, tucked around one side is an ok wallride thing over a small set that could be fun.

Sacred Heart Primary School and Church in Pearce.
This place has a LOT of rails. Some do-able, some.. not so much.. I mean, check out the amount of kinks in that first photo! Quite a few nice gaps and stairs and junk though.

Allawah Courts in Braddon
This Place is just across the road from Civic skatepark, and is fairly well known because you can see it clearly from the street and it’s been in a few videos. Basically what it is is a relatively tall 45 degree bank with a hip height rail at the top and a ten stair every 15 or so metres with dodgy handrails on either side. There’s also this random block thing which you can see in the third photo which you could easily climb onto and drop into the bank from. A word of warning though; Allawah Courts is sketchy as hell. Keep an eye out for junkies.

Treasury Building
Located in Parkes, this fuck-off-huge building has quite a few spots around it. Big set on each side and the one out the front has marble ledges either side, there’s a weird bank thingo in the carpark, and lots o’ ledges around the place.

Gungahlin Skatepark
Another classic Canberra skatey, this one located pretty much further north than Cairns. Pretty decent sized banks plus a bowl, a couple of hips and a funbox. Other side of the car park to the dirt jumps.

Gungahlin Dirt Jumps
I know that we’re called Capital STREET, but sometimes you just need to get a little bit of dirt on your tyres. These trails are located opposite the Gungahlin skatey and have something to suit all skill levels, plus a couple of pump tracks that are good fun too.

Weston Skatepark
Arguably one of the greatest skateparks in the history of time, Weston is home to a lot of Canberra BMXers. A nice easy roll down the hill from Back Bone BMX, the greatest BMX only shop in the history of time (see bottom photo of Kelvin slinging a 270 tabo at Weston). Two large connected bowls, mini ramp, fun box and heaps of hips.

Garran Primary.
We were not expecting spots of this calibre when we rolled up to this place. There are these two flat rails that are fixed into the ground in the playground closest to the road that are so freaking good. There’s a few three stairs around the place with random ledges and stuff. A few long decent height wheelchair ramp rails, plus one nice concrete ledge located around the back. Across the road from the hospital.

Underpass in Waramanga.
This underpass has banked walls starting at ledges about a foot high. Also, on the uphill side there’s a weird gap thing that goes over a footpath. It’s pretty run-down at the moment, but if you take a weed-whacker to it it’d make a decent gap.

Tuggeranong Parkway Underpass in Fisher.
Pretty cool banked underpass. At one end there’s banks on either side that are too steep to do anything with but are still pretty fun, but at the other end the banks on either side are huge, and some cool kid has built a tranny into the right hand side so you can get some sweet air into the bank. Watch out for hypodermic needles though..

Garran Shops.
Above the actual shops there’s a few rails that would require A LOT of wax plus one capped curved ledge. In the shops there are some pretty decent ledges that can be linked up to make some sick techy lines.
