Hove Lagoon Skate park

Hove Lagoon skate park has one of the coolest locations you could hope for in so far as it’s literally a stone’s throw away from the beach. The layout is good too. Unlike many of the more public skate parks to be found in the UK the space between its features is not to vast as to have used up all your momentum before you reach whatever you were hooning towards. There is the usual jump box in the centre with a large flat bank at the lagoon end and both a quarter pipe and a flat bank flanking each end of the moderately sized half pipe at the east side of the park.
The park is more family orientated than other public parks, so expect Groms. On the plus side this means that as a skater you are less likely to have to contend with agro BMXers and the usual pusher types. What’s more if you hit it on a week day or later in the evening it should be relatively quiet. The surface is great too the whole park is marble smooth from the ground to the top of the ramps, but this does make it impossible to use if it’s at all wet.
On the whole due to it’s great locating, relaxed vibe and great combination of features this is a sweet park to session regardless of what your chosen board, bike or style is.
