Wow I had so much fun make sure to go skating

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for confident BMX riders and older skaters comfortable with unconventional transitions and a technical layout. The figure-eight design offers genuine variety for experienced riders. Families with younger children should note the sharp concrete ledges and drainage issues in wet weather.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Visit in dry conditions β€” the park drains poorly and can be waterlogged in winter
⏰BMX bikes are better suited to the layout than standard skateboards
🎟️Inspect concrete ledges before skating β€” some edges have worn sharp and can cut
πŸš—The adjoining grass football area may be overgrown β€” check before planning ball games

β€œLoved skating this place before I had to move. It's made in a figure of eight shape with two quarter hips, a small bowl, half dish, fun box and a bumb in various corners. There's a couple of rough spots were the concrete has worn badly but other than that it's pretty OK for messing about on. Although it's not worth making a massively long journey for unless you're really desperate to sk8 it. πŸ˜ˆβ€

β€œNot bad. Reasonably sized. Would've preferred to see more conventional transitions and ramps. They are a bit funky and favour bmx rather than skateboarding.”

β€œLots of local ghetto people sitting around, playing loud music, making it unfriendly for children to come and play. The football area was overgrown with grass so it was impossible to play any football.”

Overview

Pollards Hill Skate Park features a figure-eight concrete layout with two quarter hips, a small bowl, half dish, fun box, and assorted ramps. Free entry. The design favours BMX riders over skateboarders β€” transitions are unconventional. Some concrete ledges have worn sharp and drainage is poor in winter, leaving the park waterlogged. A grass football area adjoins the skate park. Reviewers note the surroundings can attract groups playing loud music during the day.
