Skateboarders have been tearing up skateparks in England for decades! While the popularity of skateboarding has seen a rise and fall pattern over the past several decades, today it is more popular than ever.

The sport’s recent inclusion in the Olympics has only added to the increase in both children and adults picking up a skateboard. Construction of new skateparks across England over the past few years proves skateboarding is becoming more mainstream and acceptable in the eyes of public communities.

Indoor skateparks are essential in a place that sees its fair share of rainy days like England so it’s no surprise that there are some exceptional indoor facilities here. A world’s first multi-level skatepark recently opened in the city of Folkestone and if this is what the future of skateboarding looks like, it is safe to say it is in good hands.
