★★★★★
“A great mix of features but they’re cramped together and there is a downhill slant towards the bowl that makes it hard to skate the other way. There are lights but they only light up half of the park. The mix of street and transition is pretty good compared to other parks in the …”
★★★★★
“Loved this park, even in the rain. Nice Manny pad with small step up ledge, that's all I need.
Loads of banks, ramps and rails everywhere. Something for all levels of ability.
Next to a primary school though so pretty much a write off after 3pm on weekdays.
