EK Park

Have been a few times to this skatepark over the last few months and had a consistently awesome time on each visit. Even though I’m pretty rubbish so far I’ve never been scoffed at or felt unwanted and park regulars have been happy to watch me ride and give little tips and tricks
Staff are super friendly and chatty. Park is well maintained and foam pit is always open. At night there is no café to get snacks so bring snacks and drinks with you. Kit bags can be stored on the mum and dad benches right beside the track and I’ve always felt safe leaving my semi valuables in my bag there.
Was particularly impressed tonight when a member of staff (Pete I think) challenged me to a shot in the foam pit. Me?!? Scary stuff! However I like to live by ‘if it’s not scary it’s not fun’ so I was game for a wee adrenaline buzz. Normally they would charge for personal tuition but this lovely man coached myself and two other adults into the pit. He even got a backflip out of one of us!
Please give it a try if you’re up for a laugh. BMX, scooters and skateboards can be rented from staff. Lessons can be booked if you feel really unsafe. You’ll have a great time. Just remember a helmet — brains are important!
