Are you searching for the best skateparks in Wales? Well you are in luck because we have compiled a list of what we believe are the nine best skateparks in Wales.

Wales, like most of the United Kingdom, receives a considerable amount of precipitation but fortunately there are two indoor facilities on this list that are pretty sick and will keep you skateboarding throughout the year!

When the sun does poke its head out of the clouds, there are a number of great outdoor skateparks on offer here too. In particular, there are some really awesome street plaza style skateparks. But transition skaters don’t fret, as there are also some nice bowls for you to tear it up.

If these skateparks are your cup of tea, or if you think we have missed any that deserve to be on this list, please let us know your opinions in the comment section below. Happy skateboarding!

Best Skateparks In Wales

Penarth Skatepark

Penarth Skatepark was designed and built by Maverick Industries and consists of some extremely cool obstacles. In the middle of this skatepark there is a pentagon quarter pipe feature which is surrounded by a taco-shaped quarter pipe, volcano, pyramid bump-to-A-frame ledge, vert quarter pipe with a pentagon window, pyramid, quarter pipe with a hip, flat ledge, manual pad with a rail and planter out ledge, bank ramp, and a slappy curb.

While the skatepark is on the smaller side, it does have some very unique features with a mix of street and transition that almost all skateboarders will enjoy.

Spit And Sawdust Skatepark

Spit and Sawdust has a 7,000 square foot street course, flow bowl, and even a vert ramp! Not only is it a skateboarding facility, but it is also a café, bar, and art studio. Cool right?!

The flow bowl is brand spanking new as of August 2022 and features extensions and hips. The vert ramp is eleven-feet high, thirty-two feet wide, and gets ripped to shreds by the local vert skaters. Unless you have skated ramps like this before, you’ll probably steer clear of this monster!

Open session entry fees are: 1 hour £5 / 2 hours £7 / 3 hours £8.50 / 4 hours £9.50 / Day £12.

Haverfordwest Skatepark

Haverfordwest Skatepark is another Maverick Industries designed facility. Opening in 2014, it has been an extremely popular skatepark with local skateboarders.

Rhyl Skatepark

Rhyl Skatepark is the perfect facility for every level of skateboarder, from beginner to advanced. Maverick Industries obviously have an awesome design team because they have the ability to incorporate just the right amount of obstacles into smaller spaces without hindering the overall flow of the skatepark.

There is a mini ramp, brick bank with hips, drainage gap, and a ledge on top, flat bar, long flat ledge, bench ledges, A-frame with a ledge and rail, pyramid with a bench ledge on top, bank ramps, and quarter pipes.
