Snake Run, Heritage skatepark in Mount Clarence, Australia.
The Snake Run spans 140 meters of reinforced concrete track, following natural slopes and incorporating banked curves for downhill skateboarding at Mount Clarence.
Built in 1976 by Albany High School students after raising funds with community support, Snake Run emerged as the first community-constructed skatepark in the world.
The venue hosted Australia's first National Skateboard Championship in 1979, marking its central role in the development of national skateboarding traditions.
The track layout includes a central gentle path for beginners, while experienced skaters can utilize steeper banks and a trick bowl at the run's end.
The State Heritage Register recognizes Snake Run as the oldest operating skatepark in Australia and the second oldest worldwide, built on former gravel quarries.
