If there is enough interest it ***MIGHT happen and you can help with the design. Leave me some comments here. I'll be back in touch soon. (***This is a big MIGHT at the moment.)

• Nr the railway station/UGC Cinema
• Last time I went past Cromwells, the skaters were all about 12. Which is fine if you're 12. There's the skate park too, obviously.
• wall-sey is how its sed how the feck u spell only the big man upsatirs knows...
• There is a REALLY nice low, marble ledge down a 3 set outside the Buttermarket, next to BHS. Although, if you're goofy, you're not gonna get much put down on it unless you skate well backside, slides don't work well.
• cromwell square by far, we've all been there...skating in an actual skatepark just isn't the same, even as a trendy onlooker in my youth like me!
• Crown pools, Odeon, the College, the Wastelands, the park's all right...
• the sk8 park nr the canal
• Obviously the Skate Park
• Cromwell's is the obvious one!
• My mates and I tend to skate around in the park. I know someone who loves to sit on his board and rolls down hippy hill... whatever floats your boat!.
• as a self-confessed skating observer junkie, cromwell seems to be a popular place, as is the skate park (even if there are a few too many kids under 15) i'm told there's a good marble ledge somewhere if you can find it...
• Skate park and grave yards.
• New skate park looks good but not been yet
• The skate part next to the old town centre
• Greyfriars Church, Crown Pools
• used 2 b cromwell square but it has recenyly died a silent death.we're getting a new skatepark early next year, tho-hooray!! BMXers go 2 outside mfi and 2 tuddenham (a nearby village) debenham (another village) has a small skate park but it's crap.
• A new park should be finished early 2001. Find a spot, theres plenty unless your're a winger!!!
• Don't partake myself, but it seems to be the steps outside the church at the back of Willis Corroon, and outside Crown Pools.
• Plenty of street spots including Fisons, Greyfriars, the Church, the big Halfords, the College and Crown pools. Greyfriars is best: two good banks and loads of waxed curbs and manual blocks. Fisons is good too: it's all marble Ñ steps, a big four and an eight or nine and marble drops too. Crown Pools has a big set of eight and a nice four.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.

Have Your Say...

You can tell us more about Ipswich. This is also the method to use if you want to correct some of the information already here. (But please remember you're not mailing the person who actually wrote whatever-it-is.)

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Ipswich.
