Plan your visit

What you'll skate

The bowl stands around 1.5m high with a 1.95m extension, so it carries plenty of speed for carving and airs. A volcano-style pump mogul with a grindable top sits in the flow, and a 1.35m jump box leads into an 1.8m quarter pipe. It's a park that suits riders who already have the basics and want somewhere to build.

Free to use Open 7 days, around 9am to 10pm Open concrete bowl with extension Volcano pump-mogul feature Jump box into a quarter pipe Skateboards, BMX & inline welcome
Good to know before you go:

It's an open public park run by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, so most days are simply turn up and skate. Check the council's leisure pages for any organised sessions.
