• Drumcree college is a hippin place to go if your lookin for a good time. Plenty of steps, ledses and rails. It is pretty mental if you want to have a bit of craic or just to skate.
• The underground carpark of Highstreet mall is a great spot at night, but u need ur own jumps etc, no one will bother u there but don't attempt to skate into the mall when u think only the cleaners r there as u will encounter an angry sucurity gaurd with a large bat.... just ask Element drummer he will confirm this

• In front of the st marks church

• I was just wondering how long ago the last entry was about the Annsdale Industrial Estate. If anyone knows could they contact me at dsouths@hotmail.com. I left this entry on 20/7/01
• Apparently the front of the College - as seen by me last night on my way to do the lottery at Shop4You (very nice hot food selection)
• PORTADOWN TOWN CENTER IS THE BEST AND ALSO PORTADOWN COLLEGE A LOAD OF OLD PEOPLE HOMES AND SCHOOLS ALL IN PORTADOWN ARE BRILLANT FOR SKATEING MEET AROUN 7 PM OR DURNING THE DAY IN SUMMER AND WEEKENDS. LOADS OF GRINDS JUMPS ETC. AND THERE IS GOING TO BE A SKATE PARK BUILT IN CRAIGAVON SOON.
• Portadown's real good to skate in as well - like the Fairgreen Bank and there is a really good school to skate there too. I think it's called Killycomain or something similar. And ages ago there used to be an empty warehouse in Lurgan, around Annsdale Industrial Park but iI'm not positive if it's still empty and if the ramps are still there but I may check it out soon.

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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.
