Skateboarding Spots

• The most awesome Skate plaza!! Milton Keynes Skate Plaza - Milton Keynes Bus Station, opposite train station. Go there. http://www.mkweb.co.uk/sport/DisplayArticle.asp?ID=33249
• Just CMK in general.
• On the way from the train station to the shopping centre, there's a small centre called "living well". its for all the rich people. marble floors.....need i say more? there's a really old security guard there, so when you're flying on thru, jus sit on ur board n go for his shins!!!!mwahahahahaha
• train station
• lowe tht! the mk bus staion is hella bad. its the most siko spot i bin 2 in my life. ne1 else dis it down nd ill fnd em and jux them out bad.
• Just a quick note to some dork who said the selley plaza is crap its not at all. Its a skateboard park designed by skateboarders and is an evolution in UK skateboarding. You obviously have no respect to all the hard work thats gone into that. If you aren't good enough to skate it don't slag it off geek
• theres the new skate park at the bus station and to be honest its not that good not good at all its only got some leges and a few set i personally think it the worst skate park i have ever seen

• the warehouse in wolverton is open again, but there isnt much in there, pleez come help us build something?!?!
• The bit inbetween Campbell Park and the Theatre District is ludicrously popular. But if you're an under-age drinker, beware the often overbearing presence of el police!
• tescos in wolverton got good double 5, watch out 4 security.. check out wyvern 1st skl in wolverten 2, its not great but its fun.... tht warehous in wolvertons shut of by the way, it takes the pis
• The Beige building is gd, it has a 9, a 3 set with skate stoppers at the bottom (a.k.a the Pritchard gap), The Art Gallery is great too, with a 6, 7 and 8 set with little marble ledges next to them, marble benches to grind, and a little 2 set wiv a ledge next to it to play around on or learn sum new stuff. Red building is quite gd wiv a big 7, a 6, handrails and a few ledges rangin from 3 to 6 feet high. The church has got a huge 8 set wiv a 5 set and a 3 too. There is a building on the way too Red Building with a double 5 set. And there is another bulding wiv another stair line which goes 9, 6, 6. If you are heading down to the train station there is a stair line. A 9 wiv white stripes on the steps, a 6 then a 3.

• who can ollie the 10 set hell i can flip it lmfao also ollie 14 set down in bedford somewhere i went
• The set at the theatre is like a six set and it is piss easy my friend frontsideflipped it. Pussy!
• The theater, just at the enterance. great place, little stream n that by the side and a major set!! 10 about, if im not mistaken, anyone who can do that plz tell me!!!
• Newport Pagnell sk8 park is rubbish, don't go there, but seeing as it's pretty much the only one near MK u might as well go there. Thanks to the work of sk8 MK we should be getting sk8 park near the centre at some time in the future, and it's about bloody time, I swear the council hates sk8ers.
• The business and theatre district near the centre of mk is great for skating, theres steps, rails,curbs, slopes and flatland. Something for everyone really, only down point is being chased away by security guards, but they're too obese to ever catch you anyway. Oh and if you ever see a skater chick with long blonde hair, say hi, cos it's me : D
• Campbell Park Parish Council has put aside funds for a skateboard park on Oldbrook and a somewhat larger one on Fishermead playing field. There is also to be an adventure playground for the under-12's on Oldbrook. (see www.campbellpark.org Youth section) Regards Secretary Residents Assoc and Vice Chairman of Cambell Park Parish Council
• A great place to skateboard is the train station opposite the ice arena, alot of people go there.
• There is a really nice ditch on the north willen lake, but remeber to bring your big ass wheels cos it is quite rough. apart from that just stay up mk.
• Trin station Bus station
• lloyds house Check out the sweet shop. Millions Rule! And Dom should be pro. now.and pat g should be dead. rip pat g, well miss ya!!!!!! Nah, the Train station is the best place 2 Sk8 by miles, and the bus, theatre, beige (steps)rip pat g! gayle is fit
• I would just like to say that the Old Stratford mini ramp is being treated this week. We bought the paint today. We made the mini ramp get built. So everyone come along!!!!!!
• There's a new ramp in Old Stratford just at then end or the old Deanshanger road just by the new community centre. It has two heights of pipe and is made of untreated wood so is susceptible to the elements. Plenty of parking for those older lords with cars. Bring your taggin' gear.
• THE THEATRE DISTRICT, NEAR THE JOHN LEWIS END OF THE CITY CENTRE HAS MARBLE BENCHES, STEPS, HIGH METAL BENCHES, AND LOTS OF OTHER NEW STUFF.
• Yeah, Milton Keynes City Centre (esp. train station on Saturday afternoon) is skate mecca!
• Infinite number of rad things. Everything: banks, curbs, blocks, handrails, flowerbeds, gaps, car parks and countless variations. Meet Saturdays/Sundays at the bus station, which is right by the train station and even has a skate shop, then explore. Too many places within a small area to list them all. Only thing missing (?) is the artificial "fly-off" type stuff, but who needs it Ñ MK is the real thing. Caldecote Lake between Simpson Village and Caldecote: Monster ditch. Grindy lip one side, higher rounded lip the other. High side backs onto lake. Willen Lake: South side near Willen Hostel Similar to Caldecote ditch, but smaller and tighter. Very long, grindable all the way along. Steep side has road along the top plus railings plus half a foot of water so no fear of losing board. Wait for one day after rain. Centre of City is main place. Netherfield Estate: Purpose built skate spot. 45 degree paving stone bank with mini transition. Small flat area with weird tarmac mogul and tarmac banks. Yuk! Centre of City way better.

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.
