skatepark
Welcome to Sixpenny Handley Skatepark, the perfect destination if our project is successful for skateboarders, rollerbladers, scooterists and BMX riders of all levels. Located in the Sixpenny Handley Recreation Ground. .
Our skatepark currently offers a a half pipe and rail, but we are working to significantly improve on this. Once funding is secured, our park will be designed to cater to all skill levels, from beginners to experts with Skateboards, Scooters or BMXs.
We have a friendly and welcoming community that is always willing to help newcomers learn new tricks and improve their skills. In addition, we will be looking to host events and competitions, so there is always something exciting happening at the park.
So if you're looking for a fun and challenging skateboarding experience, watch this space we will be updating our project and news pages so that you can track progress.
After many years of use, our skatepark is much loved but, limited in who can use it. The half pipe is challenging and the surface around the rail prevents all but the most skilled riders being able to use it. We have a passionate and active local wheeled community of young skaters and want to expand use of the skatepark.
Due to the very limited public transport (3 buses a day and none at weekends), our young people are trapped without mum/dad taxis and would love to have somewhere local that they can freely use. We want to create a skatepark they can use safely and be proud of, whilst making it accessible to all physical abilities and skills. This will enable its use by the wider community benefit, making Sixpenny Handley an even better place to live.
