So, got wind of this about a week before it was due to open, and thought i'd pop in for a nosey...

The people running it were kind enough to let me walk the park and take some piccies.

Its been open for about 3 weeks now, and although it does get filled with the scooter rats, they have dedicated bmx slots, along with skateboard and skates slots.

And if you pop in during the week, in work hours, you're blessed with a practically empty park......

I've had chat with one of the guys running it, and it seems they are happy to do private lock-ins

Enough waffle, some pics....
