The ramp is looking worse for wear after many years exposed to the elements.
It has been re-laid more than once and the weather, as well as the sea air, has won the battle against the ramp.
The ramp is within a stone’s throw of the sea and is on a council reserve beside Moeraki Boulders Holiday Park.
The ramp is named the Dillon Todd Memorial Skate Park, after Todd, who died at a young age.
Hampden Skate Park Society chairman Joe Nicolson said the current ramp was built in 2016 and had done a good job.
But it was time it was replaced.
Mr Nicolson returned to the area two years ago and wanted to give back to the town.
He was a longtime skateboarder and keen on being involved in the project.
"I wanted to do something for the community and have always seen the ramp as a real asset for the town.
"But, unfortunately, over the past few years it has got a bit worn down.
"There are splinters now in the ramp and it is dangerous to ride," he said.
"It does need some love.
"We got a team together and came up with a goal to get the money together to fix the ramp and get it back to its best."
Through some hard work and sponsorship, the group had raised the $37,000 needed to get the ramp up to scratch.
The Otago Community Trust, the Waitaki District Council, the Hampden Energy Group and Network Waitaki were just some of the groups who had contributed funds.
Mr Nicolson said the way the ramp was constructed gave it a great spring and many top riders had come to the Carlisle St ramp to experience it.
Riders used to come from all around the South and further afield to use the ramp.
Plans were afoot for a mini ramp to be built as well, although work on the history of the site would be needed.
Local runanga were keen to help and carry out the work quickly.
It was hoped construction would be done in spring and the ramp would be set to go by the start of summer.
Mr Nicolson said skateboarding was now an Olympic sport, which meant some people could go far in what had started out as just a lark with friends.
