Concrete Waves replaced
the hugely popular,
but aging, wooden waves
skatepark. You can skate, BMX
and rollerblade, or simply sit
and watch in awe of all the
talented users. Why not take
the kids down, chill and watch
with friends or even have a go
yourselves? Newquay’s Concrete
Waves skate park is FREE and
open to all users of all ages!
Employing designers with a long
history in such projects, it was
designed to meet the needs of
the accomplished local wheeled
sports community of Newquay
and Cornwall whilst also serving
as a facility for riders, national
and international visitors to
the town. The style of the
skatepark is completely unique
and is highly regarded as both
challenging for the experienced,
yet safe and well thought
out for those less used to its
challenges!
Concrete Waves consists of
four separate areas: a retrostyle
pool, expansive street run,
stair set and an internationally
significant bowl. The park is
therefore geared for all abilities
and disciplines, including
professional-level. The park is
built with safety in mind, whilst
facilitating large numbers of
users.
