Skate Parks & BMX Tracks in Preston

If you're after a skate park in Preston itself, the options are thin on the ground, but Park View Skatepark out in Lytham St Annes is worth the trip. It's free to get in, and alongside the bowl and BMX track there's a toddler playground and a woodland trail, so non-skating siblings and grown-ups have somewhere to wander while the wheels are still moving. There's a cafe on site, which makes it easier to turn a session into a proper half day out rather than a quick stop. It suits a mixed group well: older kids can head for the bowl and track, toddlers get their own playground, and everyone can regroup for food afterwards. Being outdoor, it's one for a dry day, so check the forecast before you set off.
