Skateboarding in the United Kingdom - Have we found all the skateparks in the UK?

The Skatepark map of the UK is complete. Finding skateparks in the United Kingdom has never been easier.

Piece by piece like a massive puzzle, here it is: the skatepark map of the United Kingdom is finally complete. From the ‘old school’ iconic parks, to brand new spots and crappy skateparks, we found them all. But please don't shoot the messenger if you do find one more, because I am sure there must be more hidden away somewhere. There's always one more.

We have found a total of 1786 public skateparks, including asphalt and concrete pumptracks. Most parks are street focused, just like most countries around the globe, but it's never been a better time for transition skaters too. Did you know there are 267 skateparks with bowls in the UK?

From North to South, skateboarders can find detailed information about each spot and together with GPS location and local businesses nearby. A map of stoke to compare parks with other spots and to decide where to go to next.

With 1786 parks the UK scores third place in the countries with the most parks in the world, but numbers change a bit if you put things into a different perspective. If you look at skateparks per capita the United Kingdom only comes on 14th place, with one park for every 38504 people. Liechtenstein comes on first place of that list with one park for every 5383 people. Food for thought.

5 bucket list skateparks in the UK

  • Southbank Undercroft had to be on the list, of course. Southbank has been around since the 70s and has many stories to tell. Like someone said “It wasn’t made for skating. If it was, it would be something completely different". That is why it's such a unique spot.
  • Folkestone 51 is a 17 million pound indoor skatepark in Kent featuring the world’s first suspended concrete bowls and three stacked floors dedicated to all types of skateboarding and BMXing. Prefer street or transition, concrete or wood? Don't worry F51 has you covered and has something for all levels of riding ability.
  • Dean Lane skatepark, aka the "deaner", has been around since 1978 and was one of the first parks in the UK. Dean Lane skatepark is a concrete self funded DIY park located next to the Bristol South swimming pool and features a transition and street section. The Deaner is famous for its severe transitions, making it hard to skate.
  • If you like transition then Haverfordwest skatepark is what your looking for. The skatepark was built by Maverick skateparks in 2014 and features several bowls and a transiton area with nicely blended in street elements.
  • Distinctive is that one in the Shetland Islands, too. This park proves that distance or geography aren't a problem when the community raises their voice and gets together. The Lerwick Skatepark is the northernmost skatepark in the United Kingdom and its smooth concrete and design definitely make the park a bucket list spot.
