Our goal is to get a world class concrete skatepark built for Greenwichby the time the Olympic games rolls around in 2012.

Where's our Royal Skatepark?
With many years of skateboarding experience behind us, the Greenwich Skatepark Co-operative is here to ensure Greenwich gets a skatepark fit for the new millenium The Royals. FYI - it's always best to check the facebook group for more frequent updates..
Why a skatepark for Greenwich?
With so many great concrete skateparks being built we think it's time the millenium borough was brought up to date along with other boroughs in London. Just look at what other boroughs have managed to acheive:
- Victoria Park Bowl - Tower Hamlets
- Mile End skatepark - Tower Hamlets
- Clissold Park Bowl - Hackney
- Telegraph Hill skatepark - Lewisham
- Danson Youth Centre skatepark - Bexley
- Biggin Hill Bowl - Bromley
- Wandle Park skatepark - Croydon
Compared with Greenwich borough, we have a lot to do:
Look at other cities in Europe. With amazing parks like Malmo in Sweden being built we need to create something comparable and unique for the people of Greenwich and London and, continuing the association with tourism in Greenwich, for the skaters of Europe and beyond.
Contact us for, well, anything that takes your fancy.. suggestions, words of encouragement or ideas for funding the park would be appreciated..

Nothing doing with the planning application 05.09.12
So our planning application for Eastmoor Street is being sat on. The progress indicator on the council's planning portal page initially jumped ahead but we've been reset back to square 1. A bit deflating after being advised by them to the lodge application and raising the cash. It appears they are having second thoughts..

Wouldn't it be nice 10.4.11
Maverick skateparks have created a design with no particular place to put it - wouldn't Greenwich peninsula be a worthy spot?! See original post here
First regular film night 4.3.11
Feb film night at the Cutty Sark pub went off well, we managed to blow the ancient electrics on the upper floor in our quest for darkness, but many thanks to the guys there for their patience. Looking forward to the next one on the 24th March. Please come down from 7pm, all welcome, the pub is happy for all ages to attend.
Game of skate 23.10.10
The game of skate went off well with good attendance and a thoroughly good standard of skating, with the slight exception of the 3rd round group where the interest wained a little (which included yours truly!) but the effort was there which was what counts!
The game was won by Jamie with Slav coming in second and Ross third.. We managed to get some coverage in the local paper's website so mission accomplished!
Thanks for coming down everyone!!
