Norfolk and Norwich Skateparks

Over the past 30 years skateparks have increased in number, with skateboarding, scootering and BMXing all growing in popularity. Skateparks come in varying shapes and sizes, with differing terrain and designs. They can be both indoor and outdoor and in Norfolk you can find many examples, dotted around the county. Attracting riders of skateboards, BMX bikes and scooters, these skateparks offer visitors a fun location to practice their skills and stunts.

Charge Unit Indoor Skatepark

This is Norwich’s only indoor skatepark, first opening its doors in 2013, with the sponsorship of Charge clothing. Bespoke wooden ramps form a rhythm section; there is also a street section and jump boxes. The ‘rhino jump’ is a particular local favourite. The surfaces are smooth and the jumps are high; a great all weather skatepark that can also be hired for birthday parties.
