The Redland Bay park, beside the Police Station and Vehicular Ferry landing right on the water front, was completed by Sk8con in November 2002. This park is an interesting combination of form and style, which will make for varied opinions.The park itself is another small squashed construction with a combination of ramp and street obstacles. The main 6 to 7ft half pipe at one end joins a similar transition hip quarter on one side and a very unique vert wall on the other. There is a small X shaped obstacle in the middle which no one seems to know what to do with, and the facing side has a matching block / rail / block arrangement which seems like street obstacle overkill. Behind this on the top platform there is a small kinked mini of minimal proportions, 1ft high and 5ft wide.
Address:
On the corner of Hamilton Street and Weinam Street, sharing the space with the local Police station, Redland Bay,QLD which is approximately 80 kms south east of Brisbane CBD

Thornlands between Cleveland and Victoria Point, not to be confused with Thornside in the same shire, has been finished and is a reasonable park for all types. Built by Sk8con, the original size of the park was squashed down to fit into the existing size and lower budget but is still fun to skate. The main features include a nice 3ft rounded bowl which opens out onto the rest of the park, a large rail and block combo from the main platform and an oposing 6ft quarter with hip. There is also a steep bank hip with block along it and down on both sides and another steep pizza slice bank. The large block which was in the middle of the park has been removed, allowing a much better run between everything and a free landing from the large rail. There are shops close by but nothing else on site, with minimal shade furing the heat of the day. Address:
Easily seen right beside the main Cleveland - Redland Bay Road that runs through the whole area, the other closest streets are Island Outlook Avenue on one side and King Street on the other. Thornlands, QLD is just south of Cleveland and approximately 60 kms south east of Brisbane CBD
