New park in Scotland – Penicuik NR Livi and Edinburgh

[Stevo]

I see from other posts that some on you are planning to visit Livingston park. While you are up here you might want to visit a new one at Penicuik (about 45mins from Livi, 20mins from Edinburgh). No as much vert as Livi, but would be worth a look nonetheless. I plan to visit this week.



Unit 23 over in Dumbarton is the best indoor park in Scotland, and would be your best option if the weather was poor – (about 1 hour from Livi if the traffic is ok).

Here's a link to the Penicuik park.

that park is really good, some rad hips but a little slippy as it's still new

here's a video of Dave Sowerby riding there, he's the guy who designed the park

Great riding. Hopefully my riding will improve with a decent park in close proximity – no excuses now.

Your Ocean Terminal movie is great too. Wanted to go there but was away that weekend, pity that park is not permanent.

Its nice to see they are starting to build proper skate parks again, instead of these metal framed 1/4 pipe ones.

Looks a great park & some great riding there
