See our opening times & prices.

We have a small car park outside the main reception on 23 Commercial Road. We also have a rear car parking area. In general, you can always pull up in our main reception car park to drop off or visit the shop, where you can expect everyone to be cool if you are blocking anyone in. We can also show you where our rear spaces are and other parking options when we are exceptionally busy. Essentially, you can rock up, and we will help you if you cannot find a good parking space.

If this is the first time, the first thing to know is that we will do all we can to make you feel valued and welcome, no matter your age, ability or background. You should come down for a free tour and introduction to who we are and what we do. You'll soon see there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

Please note:

• If you are under 16 we will need your parent/guardian to register you and sign the necessary forms.
• Under 10s must be accompanied by an adult.

Can I just turn up on the day for a session / Do we have to book to use the Skatepark?

Ideally, you can book, but it is possible to pay at the door if we still have space. We strongly recommend you book for all weekend clubs which tend to be popular.

Can I/ we pay with cash at the door?

Yes, you can, but you cannot reserve your space online and pay for it at the door. Booking online is advance advised to avoid disappointment

Do I need to fill in the admission form every time?

Yes- every time you book a session, a new disclaimer form needs to be completed for each participant. This is done automatically via the booking system for the participants. Parents will also need to sign our disclaimer, which can be done at the door as parents are not considered participants.

How old does my child need to be to be left unattended?

A parent / Guardian must be on site if your child is under 10. This age restriction may be changed during special events.

Do I have to wear a helmet?

We strongly recommend everyone should wear full protective equipment at all times. However, it is only compulsory for under 16's.

Do you hire safety equipment?

We currently offer helmet hire for £3 per person. We also have limited availability of scooters and skateboards - Please call to confirm.

What can we ride in the skatepark?

Skateboards/scooters / BMX's / in-line skates/roller skates - No motor-driven rides allowed or 3-wheeled scooters.

What is the minimum age my kids can come into the skatepark?

Our minimum participant age restriction is four years old; however, we advise that you ensure young participants are fully competent and comfortable and use the skatepark for its intended use, as you should not go the ramps with them. We advise our younger or inexperienced riders to attend a beginner's or under 13s session. We have skate and scoot clubs on weekends (check the timetable for more information).

CAFE HIRE

When you privately hire the skatepark, we can provide you with our on-site cafe for all your catering needs, or you can bring your own food & drinks. 

If you would like the benefit of our Café service, we would require a £60 deposit. The deposit works as credit towards your parties' food & drinks and enables us to staff the cafe. Alternatively, we are happy for you to bring your food & drinks, and we can lock up the cafe space.

Please note that your deposit is non-refundable. This ensures we can pay the staff to be there. Your deposit can be used towards food and drinks and we will charge you at the end of the private hire for any excess orders that take the value beyond your £60 credit/deposit. Any credit is nontransferable or refundable.
