This area gets its name from the 1950s and 60s when Scarborough Beach was Perth’s heart of rock’n’roll.  Like its predecessor, the 21st-century version is a favourite stomping ground for young West Australians keen to try out new moves. The new Snake Pit centres on a three-tier skate park, one of the biggest and most diverse in the country.

This multi-use area caters for a range of events, exhibitions, and sports including skateboarding, scooter and BMX. At 3.6m deep the international-level competition skate bowl it is not for the faint-hearted.
