Wivey Skate Park

Hey fellas, we hope you had a great time riding our little park on Monday evening. Maybe you could pop back soon and clean your tag off of the ramp so our volunteers don’t have to 🙄

Update…
😊 Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, ideas and opinions. We’ve decided to turn comments off now as they are becoming personal.
🛹 Our skate park was built 4 years ago and this is the first graffiti we’ve had.
👌🏻Our local skate community are awesome; they respect the park because they know how hard we worked to get buy-in, planning and funding for it to be built.

As summer is on the way and the skatepark is getting busier, we thought it might be a good time to remind people about the skatepark etiquette to help everyone enjoy our skate park.

🛹🛼🛴Open to all: All wheeled-sports are welcome in Wivey, but please be respectful of how other riders use the park.

🛹🛼🛴Wheels take priority: If people are skating/scooting, please don’t let kids run around on the park or use the ramps as slides. It is super risky for them and the people skating/scooting who may not be able to see them.

🐍 No snaking! People standing at the top of ramps are waiting their turn, do not drop in before your turn, or cut across in front of them. It can be really dangerous, and may lead to conflict.

〰️Go with the flow: Skateparks are designed with flow lines that go up and down the park. Avoid cutting across, standing around in the flat sections, or riding round in circles, as this makes it hard for other people to use the park at the same time.

✊🏻 Be respectful: The little things really help make our skate park a great place… help each other out, don’t be a ramp hog, put your rubbish in the bins, and be kind to each other, we were all beginners once!

Happy skating all ✌🏻

Our mate - and all round good bloke - Billy, has a new project called 🐝 The project aims to increase the presence of pollinator-friendly native wildflowers around skateparks. Wivey Skatepark (along with Bath Skatepark) are two pilot sites. We think this is as awesome idea - after all, who doesn’t love bees! - but Billy needs input from other people to help get his project off of the ground. Swipe to scan the QR code and tell him what you think. Thanks, S&S 🌼💛🐝
