• Ilfracombe built a tasty outdoor park sometime in the 80's, it consisted of four big concrete bowls and a concrete 1/4 pipe around the walls of the park. There was a hut renting out boards, even a view of the sea. For some reason this venture closed down, I don't know when. Me and me mate found it through undergrowth in about 1996, 'someone' cut the fence and within about 2 weeks there was a major scene. And I have have to give Ilfracombe council credit for their consistency, 'cos they found out and bulldozed it. And then wander why there's lots of heroin doing the rounds. Anyway, nearby Braunton has always welcomed the alternative pastimes and is in the process of building a badboy park, nearly finished. Leave Ilfracombe on the main road towards Barnstaple, don't turn off, after 9ish miles you're in Braunton, wind down window and ask for further directions. Done.
• PLEASE, DO NOT SKATEBOARD ALONG THE WALL BY HOLLIES, IT IS DANGEROUS, THANK YOU.
• The skate board park was replaced by a sewage treatment works!
• by the Landmark theatre steps and chairs

• If you asked the average wurzel what a skateboard is they'd think it was something you put fresh fish on.
• pier
• According to the guy in the swimming pool beside the park, the park is gone, absorbed into the crazy golf. Now, what does that tell you? No park for the locals - did they care anymore, they obviously cared about it once, enough to build their own concrete park. (This is not a dig at the locals, just a question) The new generation of skaters surely cannot all be of the street only/ flat land flip flop type. Skate everything, get more out of skating.
• Cloverleaf bowl dug out by locals. Big side is most popular. Also a good bank. If you're in the area it's worth a visit, but don't expect it to be like Del Mar. Just shred and have fun. Jan 89: Linking bowls have been dug out _ 2 of them attached to cloverleaf. Banked freestyle area. Jan 91: all still there, but drainage holes blocked, which makes this a mainly summer place. Talk throughout 92 of it re-opening. But now news yet.
