Meanwhile Gardens Skatepark

Claiming to be one of the oldest skateparks in London, this series of three bowls has been here since the 70s and is a classic example of what skateboarding was really like when it was all kicking off in the UK back then. Considering its age it is in good condition however there are a few cracks and bumps that are to be expected with a park of this age.

At the top of the park is a 3 foot mini ramp featuring a bowled corner on one side which leads into a larger and more rounded bowl lying at 5 foot deep with a small pump bump in the centre to gain speed. This section leads into a deeper and even larger 6 foot bowl with 8 foot extensions. The infamous bridge of death gap, as its affectionately know as by the locals, is across the transition between the middle and deep bowl and is not for the faint of heart.

This is a piece of UK skate history and if bowls are your thing then you should definitely make the trip down here for a session.
