Chris wants to share some exciting information about the Two Mile Ash Skatepark in Milton Keynes. First established in 2014, Chris and the team behind The Skateparks Project have been working tirelessly to provide free advice and resources for councils and communities interested in building skateparks across the UK. They also proudly maintain the largest directory of skateparks in the country.
Located in Milton Keynes, Two Mile Ash Skatepark stands out with its unique design. It features a pyramid-style hipped bank with concrete flows on either side, reminiscent of halfpipes. The halfpipes transition smoothly into tarmac at each end, providing a seamless experience. There are also ledges on top of one side of each halfpipe, adding another element to enjoy.
While the skatepark’s design is distinctive, it might not be suitable for everyone due to the limited run-up for the pyramid. Some might find the pyramid's height challenging compared to the other features.
Chris is keen to point out that Two Mile Ash Skatepark is open at all times, offering free outdoor access to skaters. It's situated at Clay Hill, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. For those unfamiliar with the area, the exact location can easily be found on Google Maps using the provided address.
Chris also suggests that visitors arriving by train from Milton Keynes Central might consider taking a bus or taxi, as the park is a bit of a distance away. The Shoreham Rise bus stop is quite close and makes for easy access. Simply head south once you exit the bus onto Clay Hill until you find the park's entrance.
On a fun note, Chris and the team have added a gallery on their website showing off images of the skatepark. They regularly update the site with the latest news related to skateboarding and skateparks, keeping everyone in the skating community in the loop.
Through The Skateparks Project, Chris aims to support councils and communities in building fantastic skateparks. They offer free impartial advice, resources, and even have a submission form on their website for skatepark proposals. It’s a treasure trove of valuable information for anyone looking to design and develop a skatepark.
In a nutshell, Two Mile Ash Skatepark offers a unique skateboarding experience. It may not suit everyone, but it’s an exciting alternative for those up for a different kind of challenge. Thanks to Chris and The Skateparks Project, the park remains well-maintained and supported, making it a great spot for skaters in Milton Keynes and beyond.
