• TWO WORDS THE CHEESE
• There is a new Rampworx built about 2 1/2 years ago. The address is: 1-3 Leckwith Road Netherton Liverpool To get there (from the motorway) head up towards PC World on the Racecourse estate. Look on your right and you will find a bridge. Go under here and take a right turn into Leckwith Road. It is about 250 metres down the road. Telephone no: 0151 525 3330 P.S They are not open 12-4 p.m on weekdays or 7-10 p.m on weekends Pierhead is also full on ledge and benches, great place
• COLLEGE BLOCK IS NOW WACK!

• loads of places in liverpool , law courts , cheese , uni banks , echo buildings , tec
• THE BEST PLACES TO SKATEBOARD IN LIVERPOOL ARE CHEESE, UNI BANKS, COLLAGE BLOCK, THESE STEPS WITH BLUE RAILS GOIN DOWN THEM , LAW COURTS AND ECHO BUILDINGS.
• Well i don't skate there very often but the new block at the Uni is nice and seems a favourite spot at the moment. Law courts still seems a good hook up, but the steps and rails are strictly for the 'high calibre' individuals.
• The best - ie dry - place is Rampworkz an indoor skatepark. The park is located near Aintree and that is the best station to get off at. Open 12-10
• Edge Lane Liverpool. Half-pipes and metal ramps are gone.
• Steps down the side of the Grange Precinct in Birkenhead. Theres a hill aswell with a curb at the end which is ok for beginners.
• Is Edge Lane still there? Used to have a shallow bowl and various metal quarter-pipes and half-pipes. One of the quarter pipes was so high that only the birds had any idea what the top looks like.
• The best thing in Liverpool for skating and BMXing is Ramp works. Unit 1b, Hartley Avenue, Aintree Another good thing is the dirt jumps in the parks, only of use to BMXer's though.
• There is a new plaza built at the pier head, which has loads of benches, curbs, ledges etc... Also not too far from Liverpool, in Birchwood, there is a skate park. It has five quarterpipes of various sizes and a funbox. To get to it from Liverpool go down the M62 out of Liverpool, come off at junction 11, turn right at the roundabout off the motorway. Turn left at the next roundabout, and right at the next roundabout. You will then be in the car park of a big park. It's about one minute's walk from there. Take food and drink with you because the shops are miles away.
• Lawcourts, The Tiles, Cotton Exchange, St Georges (near Lime Street), Echo buildings, the University (banks), and loads of other places.

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...
