    UKskate-Park


    The Ukskate Shop is now located in the Ukskate-Park !!
    The Park has been re-named "Ukskate-Park" though many old school skaters will I'm sure call it Bones forever

    If you are a company or an individual and would be interested in sponsoring ramps/obstacles in the park in return for banner and/or stencil advertising for the next 6 years of our lease, please get in contact or forward this info to any person/organisation you know who may wish to help, Thanks

    The ..skatepark.. is made up of 3 large Units which are interconnected.

    Unit 1 contains mostly smaller equipment which is primarily but not exclusively aimed at beginners and skateboarders. Ukskate have already made some very significant improvements to this area. There is a small Miniramp approx 1metre high and 3metres wide. There are 2 flatbanks, a few smallish Quarterpipes, a low curved rail, a long low Square edged Grind box with a high Coping edged back, and a small square "Ollie Box" on top of one centre area. We have also commenced work on a new section in this area where we have knocked down the old Kitchen wall to create more room. This will have a flatbank and quarter pipe at one end, with a Quarterpipe at the other end. In bteween will be a number of "Moveable" obstacles including various shapes grindboxes with coping and/or Square edges, Curved and Triangle Kickers/launch boxes, and P-Rails etc

    Unit 2 is the Street area with larger ramps, A big flat bank rollin, centre fun Box with an array of Grind Boxes, Rails etc (much more to come in this area including a long drop ledge), a Big Quarter to Quarter wall ride Transfer, a Flat bank at the base of the wall ride, A large Spined Ramp and 2 more Quarter Pipes.

    Unit 3 (Downstairs) is the Transitions and "real street" area. This houses an infamous Peanut shaped Skatebowl with a Round deep end and a round shallow end. There is a large 6ft Half pipe approx 6metres Wide which has a 2 ft sub box with coping along one side and a 1 ft square edged Sub box along the other side. There is a Flat bank transfer from the halp pipe to an unusual Dual Height Vert/Midi Ramp. This has an 11ft Vert on one side and an 8ft Midi on the other side, Great for those Huge airs !
    There are transfer opportunities between the Vert/Midi and Halfpipe and from there in to the Bowl if you are feeling Brave !

    There is a Jump Box which currently has a 7ft Quarter pipe at one end and a 15ft Wall Ride Quarter at the other end, though this will be changed and improved in plans coming soon.

    The "real Street" area has a 15 foot long Street Rail down a flat Bank and a 15ft long High Ledge down the same flat Bank. This now has a Longer, mellower Flat Bank with an adjustable height Rail (16 inches upto about 3.5ft high) 15ft long and a Ledge on both the left and right hand side of the Bank. The rail will soon be able to be inter-changed with a square rail for Skateboard events etc.

    The Floor in this area is a smooth concrete, whereas the rest of the park is all plywood flooring. We now have Two 30 ft long ledges along both sides of this area. One is made similar to Urbis ledge height and the other similar to Castlefield ledge height, in order to simulate use of the most popular street skating places in Manchester.

    We have many more plans to improve the park and will be continually upgrading areas of the park to keep it fresh and give the skatepark users new challenges.

    Who I'd like to meet:

    All Skatepark Users - ..Our skatepark welcomes Rollerbladers, Skateboarders and BMXers etc... You can even ride your Heelys and Scooters if that's your thing ;) Also event organisers, Promoters, sponsors, Manufacturers, skatepark builders and anyone else who could help in putting this skatepark amongst the Uk's best, with the best equipment, best events, best facilities etc, etc.

    Anyone who wants to hire the skatepark

    Available for hire 10pm to 1am Monday to Saturday and 8pm to 11pm Sundays. Price is £100 for upto 10 people, then an extra £5 for each extra person. For larger groups, speak to Steve to negotiate a price.

    Promoters may also use our venue for Band nights etc, prices for this are also negotiable
