Hardings Lane, Gillingham SP8 4HX, United Kingdom
Gillingham Skatepark, located at Riversmeet Leisure Centre in Gillingham, Dorset, was officially completed and opened in September 2019. The park was designed and built by Maverick Skateparks, a leading company specializing in concrete skatepark construction. The skatepark features a range of elements, including a quarter pipe, hubba, roll-in, jump box, mini ramp, and handrail. These features cater to skaters, BMX riders, and scooter users of all skill levels, offering a versatile and dynamic riding experience.
The design process involved active input from local skaters and the community, ensuring that the park met the needs of its users while also promoting inclusivity. The project was seen as a long-term investment in the community, with a focus on creating a safe and engaging environment for youth and encouraging participation in wheeled sports.
The skatepark was funded by a combination of local government resources and community-driven fundraising efforts. Its completion marked a significant upgrade from the older facilities in the area and has since become a popular spot for local and visiting riders.
The park is praised for its high-quality design and construction, making it a hub for outdoor activity in Gillingham, drawing users from across the region. The project has been a success in promoting physical activity and social interaction among young people.

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
