City Sk8 Park was a skate-boarding facility situated on North Terrace, next to the railway tracks, in Adelaide, South Australia. Skaters could use the facility day and night as the park was equipped with lighting and camera surveillance.

The Park had sheltered seating and featured a range of vertical drops, half bowls, steps, blocks, ramps and slopes. The facility was highly visible to passers-by, helping to ensure the safety of skaters. Dogs on leads were allowed, but not in the skate park itself for their own safety.

This facility was demolished during late 2015 despite a local campaign to save it, as a result of the expansion of the North Terrace Bio-medical precinct.[1]
