Paignton Skatepark

The new section of the skatepark is now open for use, this includes a good sized half pipe and quarters transfers etc. The older part is still there as well including the mini ramp etc.

What's the park like now, and how do I get there?

The skatepark is free and open 24/7 but there is no night lighting. If you are lucky you may be able to park on Hyde Road but be warned that the parking attendants are never far away during peek hours, after 6pm it is fine to park all night. Otherwise the closest place to park is the main Paignton multi-story which you get to via the sea front or Torbay road turn offs. Click here for a map and arial view of Paignton Skatepark

These were the draft plans for the skatepark, everything is built now:

The Original Skatepark

These pictures below were taken in August 2005 when the park had only just opened. All the ramps are still there to skate now but the mini needs some repairs to the top of the ramp where bmx pegs have worn through.
