Stoke-sub-Hamdon TA14 6QE, United Kingdom
Stoke-sub-Hamdon Skatepark, located in Somerset, was newly completed in 2024 after an extensive renovation project. The skatepark was built by Maverick Skateparks, a company well-known for their durable and innovative concrete designs. The new facility replaces an older, unsafe metal ramp park that had failed a safety inspection. This redevelopment was part of a larger effort by the Stoke-sub-Hamdon Sports and Recreation Trust, which included an adventure play area in its five-year strategy (2020-2025).
The project, which cost approximately £100,000, was partially funded through local fundraising efforts, including a successful Crowdfunder campaign that raised nearly £3,000. The remaining funds were secured through various grants from local and regional authorities. The new skatepark features a modern concrete design, with elements like quarter pipes, a funbox, banks, and an asphalt pump track. These features cater to skaters, BMX riders, and scooter users of all ages and abilities, providing a safe and engaging space for the community.
The skatepark’s completion marks a significant improvement in local recreational facilities and is expected to foster greater social inclusion, reduce anti-social behavior, and promote both physical and mental well-being. It is now a central hub for local youth and skaters in the surrounding areas

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.
