Join us for a fun, supportive and inclusive adaptive skateboarding experience at Sonsk8 Indoor Skatepark in Glen Innes, delivered by Wellness Riders in collaboration with Auckland Council, Spectrum Care, Gig Buddies and Sonsk8.

Designed for people with disabilities, additional needs, neurodiversity, anxiety, or anyone who would benefit from a calm and encouraging environment, these sessions focus on building confidence, connection, wellbeing and new skills through the joy of skateboarding — all at each participant's own pace.

No previous skateboarding experience is needed. Whether it's your very first roll or you're already a confident rider, our experienced adaptive coaches will tailor the session to suit individual goals, abilities and comfort levels.

Experience the Full Skatepark Vibe

This is a relaxed drop-in style event, with participants welcome to arrive anytime during the session. We'll be running small group rotations of approximately 30 minutes, with around 5 participants per group to help keep the experience calm, supportive and spacious.

Held inside Auckland's most iconic indoor skateparks, participants will have the opportunity to experience the energy, culture and excitement of a real skatepark in a safe, welcoming and supportive environment.
