Last year Folkestone skate committee announced the building of a new indoor skatepark in Folekstone. Originally meant to be opened in 2019 but the date has now been moved to summer 2020.
The skatepark will cost £14 million and will probably become the best indor skatepark in England (exept addrennaline alley)
The skatepark wil have 3 floors, The first floor will be the Bowl level, which shockingly will feature two concrete bowls which are made like real backyard pools with copins, tiles, vert and also the bowls will have a 2.5 metre deep end in both pools. The second bowl will be called the ‘modern bowl’ which will be also the ‘beginners’ bowl. It features an oververt extention which is 2.7 meters high (thats way over 6’6) and will have 400mm of oververt. It wil aso have an escelator extention which will be 2.6 meters hjigh and have 300mm of vert, so definitely not for beginners.
The second floor will be caled the street level. It will be 700sqm and will have tons of flatground and mellow rails and ramps in the park and will have many flatbars/roundrails, hubbas, a frames, and a few stairsets for the zero style skaters, it will include a few manny pads and quarter ramps (only for speed, any tricks on them will ensure your instant death since you in the street room.)#
The Third floor will be called the Flow Level. This level will feature, wallrides, volcanoes, waterfalls, blends and hips with also 2 pilars which wil be skateable (somehow). The quarter pipes and hips will vary in size so it’ll be great for beginers and pro,s (but i doubt theres many pro skaters living in folekstone, maybe if you ride for death or heroin though…)
There will also be another floor which will have a climbing wall, gym and cafe but we dont give a shit about that over here and voyage since were all skaters and not gym rats.
