Finding a skate park
Many councils list skate parks on their websites, and lots are free to use. Indoor skate parks charge, but they’re dry, often have beginner sessions and sometimes offer lessons.
Etiquette
- Wait your turn and watch the flow of riders.
- Don’t stand or sit in the landing zones.
- Little ones are safer at quieter times.
Safety kit
A properly fitted helmet is the must-have, plus knee and elbow pads and wrist guards for beginners. More wheels fun in karts, skates and bikes and more free days out.
