  Great place! One of the UK's most amazing skate parks. Three floors of skateable terrain, with something for everyone: a street floor, a 'flow' floor (large low-ish bowls, plenty of flat floor between the transitions) and a deep concrete bowl floor. The deep bowls are the quietest, not so many people attempt those! They are amazing if you're into it, top quality. Plus a great climbing area (bouldering plus a really tall harness climbing area) and a cafe. The staff are super-supportive, no one should feel intimidated, beginners are welcome, little kids, big kids, adults - the place has a nice inclusive vibe.

  Haven’t been to the skatepark itself but went on one of the evenings of the Compass festival as a photographer for the gigs and it was a great experience! It’s a lovely venue for alternative music.
  Really enjoyed the Zombie Killers, Currls and Poppy Rockett.
  F51 is a great addition to the Folkestone music scene!

  This skate park is just the nuts! We had such fun, I even rode the big bowl on my skates! Gosh I felt brave! hahah. Sad we dont have anthing like this nearby in Cambridge. It was such a treat, great value for money. Lovely staff and coffee. Parking was easy too.

  Took my 5 year old today. Unfortunately no bikes or climbing as he's a bit young (understandable) but they did let him scooter or skate. As we came with onky his bike, the team hired us a great little scooter. Staff were very helpful, very kind and great with my little one. Seems the parks team really are there to nurture little ones while carryingout duties! PAY RISE FOR THE TEAM 🤑 Major respect guys 👊👊👊
  
  Anyways, he had a great time, and other users where so good with him, helping him when he went down,teaching him a few basics and managing not to knock him over.

  It was a lovely experience to try kids skateboard lessons. Staff and instructor were all very friendly and helpful. My 5yrs and 8yrs were very happy and would come back for it again.

  Amazing place!!!! Been the last 3 weekends in a row! My 2 boys love it, as it’s in doors it will be great in the winter months to get them out and off their PCs. Staff are great and about watching, 3 floors to keep them happy for the 2 hours for £9 which is a steal, so happy they built this. Even serve beer - love this place!

  Fantastic skatepark for all skill levels. There are 3 floors which are all very fun to ride. The 1st floor is a bowl floor which I personally didn't ride as it's more for professionals or people with skateboards. However the bowls are huge and look fun to ride if you have the skills. The entrance to the climbing walls, which I didn't try out is also on this floor. On the 2nd floor, which is the street floor, there is a variety of different features including stairs, ramps, ledges and a small bowl type thing. There is also a seating area for spectators. On the 3rd floor however, it is basically huge bowls that are very fun to ride and have multiple places to drop in from including a very high drop at one end. There is a volcano type thing in the middle that you can ride. It's overall a very fun floor. You can ride a skateboard, BMX, scooter, rollerblades and most other weird hybrid things. Basically you can ride anything with wheels and no engine as long as it's not like outrageous. You can ask the staff for more info. There are toilets on all 4 floors for ease of access. They were surprisingly very clean and modern. The store/cafe area is a nice place to hang out pre/post riding and they sell soft drinks and coffee ect. There are automated gates before you have access to the lift. Signing the waiver is surprisingly easy they provide 2 iPads for you to sign on. On a side note the building does not seem to be heated which makes sense as you will get hot while riding but spectators should dress accordingly to the weather outside as the difference in temperature between inside and outside is not great. The parking is really easy to use you just drive in pay online or at the desk when you leave. It's 1.40perhr. The shop rents out skateboards, BMXs and scooters plus helmets and protective gear. Only helmets are compulsory though. Staff really don't care and leave you to your own business. Overall a must visit if you're in the area.

  I booked a lesson with Tom - having been off the wall for 2 years I needed a refresher. I was super nervous and Tom (and Luke!) we’re so welcoming! Tom was amazing and very patient and a lot of fun! I would 100% recommend if you wanted a lesson.
  It’s a small centre but they’ve packed loads in and it’s nice to have something on the doorstep !
