About Twizel Skatepark
In the Mackenzie Basin town of Twizel, built for the Upper Waitaki power scheme workers, this outdoor skatepark offers terrain. The layout features ledges, rails, banks, and a quarter pipe. Aoraki/Mount Cook, the turquoise glacial lakes, and the stargazing dark skies create one of New Zealand's most spectacular alpine settings.
