How do you get out to greystones?

h-street23 · 12-02-2007 2:34am

I used ta live there before it went to ****. In 2003 I skated all over Greystones all summer.It was cool even though there was no park.I'm stoked that I can take up skating again when this park opens.Beats going to BP and Lucan and God knows where else just to skate.

sorry tobe off topic but does anyone know the situation on the supposed skatepark in shantall, galway

h-street23 · 23-02-2007 7:29pm

how's greystones coming along? I tried to find the park the other night but it got too dark and jackie skelly's gym was freaking me out...

They've started concreting the shallow end of the bowl and a section in the snake run. They've built a 6 foot quarter in the bottom section and layed out the pyramid section. Its starting to look like a skatepark. I'll let you know the grand opening date which is tbc but I would say at least 5-6 weeks.

Cant wait to skate it! Wheni s this beauty opening??? Is it skateable?? Are we allowed?? PLEASE...its actually closer to me than bushy!!!!

Pawsome · 15-03-2007 11:11pm

That looks insane! Thats gotta be the best bowl in ireland for sure! Do you just get the dart out to greystones then? and how far it it to get from where it stops to the actual skatepark?

AJG · 17-03-2007 2:41am

Just gave it a test run and although only 2/3 complete would have to say it is the best bowl in Ireland. Opening around the 21st of April, I'll let you know if there's any changes.

Kenjd · 17-03-2007 12:37pm

Visited the site yesterday. Didnt get to skate it cos the lads who were working there said their boss was coming back shortly!!!
Great bowl, and the other sections are coming on well! This place is going to be sh*t fast! Here are some more pics!
Later

I'd say its a good 25min walk from the dart station. Take a left when you come out of the dart station and stay on the main road, take the first left off the roundabout and its about 3/4 mile from their!!! Look out for Jackiie Skellys gym!

Skatedude · 25-03-2007 11:43pm

looks sweet

luapenak · 26-03-2007 8:06pm

dont think anyone can use the skatepark now untill the official opening. I suppose it is to expected as it is still a building site. i dont think people will have a problem waiting

blade101 · 28-03-2007 12:53am

this is my prayers answered! Heard there was a skatepark ment to be opening, I rememeber signing a petition in ramp n rail and g1 about 8 years ago! Been outta the loop now about the same amount of time and am looking to get fit again!

Official opening april 21st I hear,can anyone confirm this?

luapenak · 12-04-2007 1:47pm

confirmed. bands and bbq

Mitch Connor · 12-04-2007 1:59pm

their was a kid skating up that direction a couple of weeks back - not in the park, but near it. Anyway - he managed to brake his leg. My mate and his dad happened upon the scene about 10 minutes after the incident and found some woman trying to heal his aura as the pain was all in his mind....my mates dad told her to shove off and helped sort the kid out (trained in first aid and the like).

So....if you are heading to this park, becareful of yourself, you don't know what help you might recieve!

fisheye · 13-04-2007 12:41am

This place will be a bone factory! Skated it briefly at the weekend - stoked on the bowl, even though I rarely skate terrain like that...
