• Skate Park in Glouster Park.
• Just had a look at the new skatepark - it's behind the swimming pool in Glouscester Park. Good surface, good half pipe somewhat not wide enough in my opinion - but kind of standard width. Other than that a range of ramps and stuff to keep people happy - i just we had this stuff back in 1978 - 78 (Yeah I'm an old bloke)
• Outside toys R us!
• Park over by Kingswood School.

• only skatespot i can think of is in chelmsford (skate park) which is not to gud. ohh and the place next to MVC is st martains square thats where the grungeers/grebbos go
• I was askater the first time round (1976 - 90) and still occasionally jump on my board at 40! Looking at the skate place list I dont see the six foot curved bank in the car park or Ford Trafford House near the station mentioned. Sure, it has a three inch high kerb in front of it, but it never stopped us dumping concrete in front of it to make a rideable transition. Why not try it again?
• Ballards walk shops, the stairs there, the set at the jolly frier (probobly spelt wrong)
• if you go 2 festivial lesuire.there r about 8 different stair sets ranging from 4 to 9 the 9 isabout the size of a 10.there is a nice 5 stair at the edge of the car park and there is a 5 behind pizza hut.go through front entrance of uci from the car park then go through your exit on the left then go right there will be a couple of 5 stairs with short run up then theres a 8 with about the same run up then u will get to the 9 wich is fukin massive the are some stair sets around that area mostly near the shops.
