What it’s like
An indoor skate park with ramps, a bowl, a foam pit and a street course for scooters, BMX, skateboards and inline skates.
This is a proper skate park, not a soft play with a slide bolted on. Kids ride ramps, drop into the bowl, work the street course obstacles or launch into the foam pit, whatever they're on wheels with, scooter, BMX, board or inline skates. Anyone over 5 can ride, but under-12s need a parent there watching, and under-18s have to wear a helmet, hire's £4 if you haven't got one.
Sessions aren't cheap if you're not a member. Two hours is £12 for a non-member, or you can pay £15 for four hours or £18 for the whole day, which is the better deal if you're making a proper trip of it. Membership at £30 a year knocks those prices down to £8, £11 and £14, so if your kid's going to be a regular it pays for itself fast. There's also a £7.50 evening session Monday to Thursday for a specific discipline, and Sunday mornings are set aside for beginners, which is the one to pick for a first go.
It's card only, so leave the coins at home, and everyone under 18 needs a disclaimer filled in by a parent before that first visit, one of those admin jobs better done before you're stood at the desk with an impatient eight-year-old. Parking's free and on-site. There's a café upstairs that looks right down over the park, so you can watch from a table with a coffee instead of freezing on the seating below, and it opens at 4pm on weekdays or 10am at weekends. Worth knowing that Club Lane is one-way and you can't get to it from the A629 Keighley Road, so check your route before you set off.
