Skate Parks & BMX Tracks in Reading
If your kids are into wheels, Reading itself doesn't have much listed yet, but there's a decent option a short drive out at Thatcham. Thatcham Skatepark sits right next to a full playground, so you've got swings, a climbing frame and a basketball hoop for anyone who isn't ready for ramps yet, or needs a break from them. It's free to use and there's free parking on site, which makes it an easy choice if you're watching the budget. The outdoor layout means it's weather dependent, so check the forecast before you load the bikes in. It suits a mixed group well, older kids can work on tricks while younger ones head for the playground, and the site is wheelchair accessible too.
