HISTORY
Formed in 1986, Mount Hawke Skatepark is one of the longest-running indoor parks in the UK. Built originally to meet the needs of young people living in rural Cornish communities, Mount Hawke started as an outdoor facility but was developed inside in 1996, becoming the South West's largest indoor skatepark.
The majority of the current set-up was designed and completed by FourOneFour Skateparks in May 2016, with the pool being installed in February 2017 after being generously donated by Ramp City skatepark in Blackpool.
The purpose-built warehouse stands at 24,000 square feet, and is split into different sections; street and transition, the 'black pool', the bowl, the rhythm section, the vert ramp, mini ramp alongside a new outdoor plaza and pump track, making us an all-weather facility.
