If you ever come down to Cornwall riding your bike, BMX, blades or skate board wooden waves skate park in Newquay is a spot you must check out. It is situated Right next to the Zoo, so is very easy to find. The atmosphere is great when the weather is nice and the local riders are super, super friendly.
The park has just about everything a park rider could ask for! At the back of the park there is a small fun box next to a grind ledge. This used mostly by the skaters but is cool to get started on and warmed up for you days riding!
Either side of that are two different sizes of quarter pipes up against walls so the creative riders have something to play around with. In the centre of the park there is a larger pyramid type obstacle with a grind box attached to the side of it with a smaller pyramid and grind rail on the other side. This is good for BMX street riders but is mostly used by the skate boarders and bladders.
Nearer to the entrance of the park is the more advanced part of the bark which is usually ruled by the Bikes. Consisting of a big roll in and a 6ft jump box, rolling out into a huge vertical wall ride. This is were a lot of the mountain bikers ride in the park as it has more of a jumping feel apposed to street.
Next to the jump box is a same sized spine ramp which is used for cool transfers from and to the jump box. To the left of the park there are 2 wooden mini ramps, placed at an angle to each other so creates a cool hip jump.
On the right of the park is one of the UK’s only out door vert ramps. This rarely gets used as it is for the most advanced riders out there. Definitely a must ride park if your in the area so go check it out!
