Saffron Wallden, UK design by Dreamland

Saffron Walden in Essex has been blessed with a rather unusually skatepark for the UK, concocted by Dreamland who have been responsible for some awesome parks in Oregon, USA. The park in based around three nice big bowls, one with pool coping, another with a cradle and the third getting rather deep. Then a series of driveways, gaps, ledges, polejams and banks surrounding the bowls.

For many this park is going to be what a skatepark should be, however it will also annoy others with it’s lack of street ledges, manual pads or game of skate zones. To be honest though if you want street go to Milton Keynes’ Plaza, otherwise just loosen up and have fun bombing round the outside of the park or pumping round the rather scary at times bowls.
