It's cool; amazing the best does the massive drop ramp
my kids love coming here to play and run around the playground
I don't think this is an ideal skate park for beginners or novice skaters. For skateboarding, I would suspect that you'd have to be comfortable with being able to ollie on and off a curb to/from a footpath first. It is all concrete, which whilst is very smooth and provides little resistance, a beginner or novice might not be used to the speeds that you will get especially if you're used to skating on a typical British footpath (even smooth tarmac paths are slower than the clean/smooth concrete at this skatepark).
I 100% recommend helmets for the quarter pipes and ramps; around 1999, I knocked myself clean out on a wooden 6ft half pipe by hitting my head on the coping. I would have been okay had I hit the wood on the ramp. All of the ramps and quarter pipes here are concrete.
A note to parents, you are not helping your child by calling him or her a wimp for not dropping in when he or she is standing atop of a 7 or 8ft concrete quarter pipe - especially if he or she isn't wearing a helmets or knee/elbow pads. Dropping in is scary and you have to commit to it. Any doubt can lead to an injury. If you are not willing to do it yourself, don't expect your child to do it. I have seen a drop in go very bad first hand.

Great little space to roll around on a board, or bike or scooter, on. Lampposts for sessioning into the late hours. Parking just in front on the grass verge too
Its got lights and they are on at night. Back quarter is a little steep, overall layout is pretty whack but smooth ground and it has lights that work. Wish it was my local.
Love skating here good for beginners and conditioning tricks not a big park but still great for a lil skate
