Mindaribba Aboriginal Land Council held a competition at the park as part of Youth Week.
The event included commentary provided in conjunction with Skate Ape Skate Shop in Maitland and UP&UP art.
A local DJ also helped inspire the participants and entertained the audience with hip hop, rap and rock n roll.
The event was one of several planned for Youth Week in Maitland these school holidays.
Thornton Skate Park will be decorated by young people in an urban art workshop on Friday, April 20, while a mini music festival called Vibes Outside will be held on the same day outside Maitland Library.
The final Youth Week event is the Skate Demonstration and Competition at Swamp Stomp on Sunday, April 22 at Woodberry Public School.
