• Charles Street is the main spot, but I am assured by my Skater brother it is still pants.
• Charles street car park now has a small skate park, and I mean small - like there's a fun box and a few other small ramps but no halfpipe. Better than nothing though. And there is still the half pipe out towards Maiden Castle, which for some reason is listed in the Weymouth entry - now Weymouth has a really huge skatepark, but you have to pay.
