Queens Park Skatepark & Vert Ramp

What it’s like

A free, always-open outdoor skatepark with a vert ramp, rails, a spine and a giant kicker, though several features have seen better days.

This is an outdoor spot for skaters who already know what a vert ramp is and want one nearby. There's a vert ramp itself, rails and a spine to work along, and a giant kicker if you've got the speed and nerve for it. It's free, it's outdoors, and there's no gate or session time, so you can turn up whenever the light's good and the ramps are dry.

That said, go in with your eyes open. The site itself flags that most of the ramps are in poor shape, and the vert ramp's coping has come away from the frame, so anyone riding it is effectively doing their own maintenance check first. This isn't the place for a first-timer on a scooter looking for a smooth, forgiving run. It suits someone who already skates and wants the vert ramp and the bigger features specifically, rough edges and all.

There's public transport nearby, which helps if you're getting a teenager there without a lift. Nothing here is bookable and there's no set hours to work around, since it's open every day, all day. Bring your own pads and helmet as standard, and maybe check the ramp over before you drop in.
