Mt Hawke is a tiny village in Cornwall, a few miles from Red Ruth, and has one of the few indoor skate parks in the UK. This skate park has been around for a few years now, originally being a set up of ramps outdoors and has developed into one of the best skate parks in Cornwall. This place is vital for a lot of Cornish riders as we use it a lot over the winter months, when the dirt jump, trails or outdoor bowls or parks are too wet to ride.

The new set up of the park is great as it has created a lot more variation and so many more lines for people to ride. The main mid-section of the park has had a complete make over in October 2007 and has made the whole park much more interesting to ride. It used to be just a few obstacles put in places without much thought or any ideas how to ride it.

Now with the new set up you can link different parts of the park together and can flow around the park for minutes on end without cranking it at all. It has a small street section which is great for beginners or just for people to warm up on and get ready for their days riding. It has three mini ramps, each different size’s for the new skate riders or BMXers, right up to a big six-foot spine mini ramp equipped with a step up and great wall ride.

The main section of the park has hips, grind boxes, a stair set and a wall ride with quarter pipes and flat banks set up at all angles so you can hit it from any side of the park. The far section has a small jump box and a new volcano spine set up.

The park is great on those wet and rainy day when you can’t be outside, and is vital to your riding over the winter. Defiantly worth checking out if you are in the area!
