We have an amazing street section with a huge variety of quarter pipes, flat banks, boxes, manny pads and Hubbas (for regular and goofy skaters alike). We also have a serious grind rail down the middle, and a hesh rail over the step up for those who dare!
Bowl sections
Our park has the only covered concrete pool and bowl complex in the UK. It features pool coping, tiles, a filter box (death box) and even steps! Our huge concrete bowl has two tiers, ideal for picking up and maintaining speed, and two hips going down into the deep end, perfect for vert skaters.
