Henley Skatepark

6 and a half years on, the skatepark is still looking great. Don't choose the cheapest tender when building your park . . . . you are cutting corners and investing in a product with a reduced lifespan. Thank you 😊

COVID-19 UPDATE 05/11/2020

The UK Government has confirmed the requirement of the increased national lockdown in England is designed to suppress the spread of Covid-19, save lives and protect the NHS.

Sadly, all indoor and outdoor skateparks in England have been ordered to close from Thursday 5th November 2020 by the Government, following Parliamentary approval of a four-week national lockdown.

Skateboard England and Skateboard GB have sought guidance from and argued the case for exemptions from the Government for skateboarding, due to the ability to take part, while social distancing. Unfortunately, the increased national lockdown measures will force the closure of all indoor and outdoor skateparks.

We know this is hugely disappointing news but we must all pull together as a community and continue to follow the Government guidance to keep ourselves and each other safe.

Henley Skatepark Is Open 🙌 😊😊😊😊

Please follow all Social Distancing Guidelines at all times. You might not get sick from it - but you could pass it on to those at High Risk and they could die.

Please be respectful of all other users/humans/wildlife, Covid-19 or otherwise.

----------The skatepark remains closed----------

Some are open in other parts of the country, but it's up to local councils to make the decision on when to re open.

Back in the early to mid 80's, where the skatepark is now, was a BMX track, complete with starting gate, rollers, banked turns and table-tops.

Unlike today where everyone photographs everything, very few photos exist of the track.

We'd like to thank a certain corporate information behemoth for arranging to fly their satellite over our skatepark in order to update their imagery.
