Skatepark is only for use by the race people, No general public, Not sure how they are going to work that out. But will pack my park bike in anyway

What?  The skatepark is only for use by racers?

You couldn't make it up.....

I'd give them a call before you go. I think you need to be a member of a club and are only able to use the track with your clubs registered coach in tow.

It was only today while the regional was on. To be honest the park wasn't rideable it rained and was like an ice rink. It started to dry out and the kids were coming off the track into the park and covering it in mud. I'd like to go back when it's dry and have a ride, It's only 40 mins away.

According to the website anyone can use the skate park http://www.cyclopark.com/about/interactive-map.aspx
Anyone can use the bmx freeride/pump track , but to go on the 340M track you have to have a induction

Weekday afternoons best for me as i work 6 days a week 

Cool.  So, any weekday?  Anytime after 12:00?

We could aim for a 1pm meetup so that will give us a few hours before the schools close.

So, hands up if you can also make midweek afternoons?

Ah, okay.  Sorry to hear this.  We will keep the 19th going as there are now a few people who are turning up but, we can try another date after 26th that you can hopefully make (especially if the place is good!!).

ta for the update,

Paul

Hi, I live in Gravesend but not been there yet.  a friend of mine is coaching bmx racing there aswell

all the prices are up on the website but its a bit of a wierd structure to say the least, and not a single entry fee

you can pay to use the skate park all day it has peak (w/e eves) and off peak (while kids are at school) prices, only a couple of quid
if you want to mountain bike or road circuit ride, you have to pay something like £3.50 for a two hour session

you also have to pay to park for the day, so if i wanted to take my car, with my bmx, mtb and road bike for the day it would end up costing a bit more than they could reasonably charge for all day access.

I also wonder how they will know when you've been riding the circuit for 2 hours???

click on the interactive map and it shows the session prices http://www.cyclopark.com/about/interactive-map.aspx

Hi GavPrimo

Yeah, the prices do seem a little on the random side..  I talked to the door people for a good 10 mins and they told me the skatepark was £1:50 off peak, £2:00 peak, for 2 hours.  Saying this, Im not sure how they will police the 2 hour limit as each zone gets its own colour wrist band with the exit time written in pen on the band.  So, unless someone asks to look at the band, they will not know how long you have been there...

Car parking was free btw.

I still think it is a fantastic facility and will defo be trying to make regular use of it..
