Google map of Irish skateparks

wreckless

Hi all and everyone,

Some of you may have seen the skatepark page which is on the skateclub website, its old and pretty outdated in only about 4 months or so, so i have been messen around with Google maps. well sweet...

I have been slowly adding in a marker on the map as near to or exactly where each skatepark is in every town/city. Its hard sometimes to get an exact street by street location when your not visiting every other day.

But i need your help!!!

I need more and more information from you guys exactly where some skateparks are, photos, sizes, type, controlled access, restricted access, lights, size, bus routes etc. so that this map can be of real use to everyone. I dont mind spending the time adding in the info you send me, in fact, im glad to it.

So Ireland, skaters, bmxers and you reading this, please send as much info as possible in this thread, i will add it to the map and keep updating it with the new URL as its added.

Here is how far I have gotten. As you will see, some are probably a bit off, so any mistakes, please tell me.

many thanks

G

Wont be there much longer, its getting knocked as far as I know, saw a redevelopment stand about it out in DunL/Rathdown Co Co.

Hi again,

some updates on the map, please sending me your info, photos, spots, even if its a bmx track, surf spot, skate spot, why not sure.

The info I got on Tuam sounds iffy, they are only spending 55,000 of a 100,000 grant in 2005, a fairly poor goplay modular type ramp from Austria. They appplied for a concrete park in 2005, but since the project has been picked to bits and pushed to one side, i rang a local paper to see what they could find out...

Let us know what you find out

Any news on the Tuam skatepark?

just heard about this new one, its gonna be a few years away, but the estimated budget for the whole masterplan of the blackrock park is 4.25M, (can see that rising over the next few years :rolleyes: )

Comments and suggestions eh? well guys, we have our oppertunity to make our voices know now before the closing date about this skatepark anyway. They have already put one skatestone park in the monkstown area, we cant let them do the same here, especially as they are looking at a 950m2 area

shortys94

Just got word that Tuam skatepark is due to open in November. Well at least its one more in the west, although I don't have high hopes for the quality.

Mayo didnt receive any funding.

Mr wreckless was there today here are the pictures!!

It's rhino modular but it is actually good with multiple lines and fairly roomy aswell.:D

wreckless

Nice shots wideangle

it does look like there is a lot more to it than any other rhinoramp park but at the end of the day, for the space that is used, it would have made a fine concrete skatepark. Foregive for harping on.

On the Limerick park, they have the go ahead for a new concrete park!!!:D:D:D

After nearly 2 years of consulting and complaints, issues, site, locals concerns etc. the meeting on Monday just gone has given the go ahead for a new concrete park on the Dock Road. Congrats to them, and fair play to Tom Shortt who stuck with it and never gave up hope.

A crowd from Ennis called Erinaceous will in charge of the project fro Limerick City council, and tendering will start soon for the design of it.

Thats the news for the deaf today, no back to work:cool:
