About SonSk8

Our
story.

Founded by a passionate group of volunteers, SonSk8 Indoor was built to give our community a dedicated indoor skatepark.

More than a sport

Why we
do it.

We believe skateboarding is more than just a sport — it’s a way to build friendships, boost self-esteem and promote healthy lifestyles.

01

Physical health

Skating is a fantastic way to stay active, improve balance, and build strength and coordination.

02

Creativity

Skateboarding is an art form that lets people express themselves and push their creative boundaries.

03

Belonging

The park is a hub where people connect, share tips, support each other and keep up with what’s happening around NZ.

04

Safe to fail

A supervised, well-kept indoor space means skaters can practise safely, away from busy streets.

05

Youth empowerment

Skating teaches resilience, perseverance and goal-setting — life skills that help on and off the board.

Meet the
team.
