The Recreation Ground, Wiveliscombe, Taunton TA4 2TA, United Kingdom
Wiveliscombe Skatepark, located at the Wiveliscombe Recreation Ground in Somerset, was officially opened in July 2022. Designed and built by Maverick Skateparks, this small concrete skatepark features a mix of street and transition elements. The park measures around 8 x 30 meters, offering riders a versatile environment that includes a mini-ramp, quarterpipe, funbox, and unique elements such as a beer barrel gap, which was inspired by the local brewing heritage.
The skatepark's construction was driven by local demand, with the community involved in the consultation process to ensure the final design met their needs. The park's layout allows for fluid movement, with all features linked to provide a smooth flow for skaters, BMX riders, and scooter users alike.
The project received funding through a combination of local government support and community contributions. While specific funding sources aren't detailed, the park represents a significant investment in recreational facilities for Wiveliscombe, enhancing the town’s offering for youth engagement and physical activity.
Prior to this development, Wiveliscombe did not have a modern skatepark. This new facility represents an upgrade to local amenities, providing a dedicated space for outdoor activities. As of now, there have been no major renovations, as the park is still relatively new, but regular maintenance is expected to keep it in top condition for years to come. The park has already become a focal point for local riders and visitors.

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.
