A graffiti-covered abandoned skate rink taken over by drug users and squatters in Brisbane's south-west has been sold after sitting vacant for more than a decade.

The skate rink on Serviceton Avenue, Inala, was built in 1959 but has been vacant since about 2007.

The 6056-square-metre site occupied by the run-down two-storey building was purchased for $2.25 million by DHT Investments in November 2017.

It was last purchased for $1 million in 2007 and before that $270,000 in 2000.
