Falmouth Skatepark

Falmouth Skatepark is a brand-new facility at Dracaena Playing Fields owned and managed by Falmouth Town Council.

Designed for use by skateboarders, BMX riders, scooter enthusiasts, and rollerbladers, this skatepark offers a versatile space for all skill levels to enjoy.

A Skatepark for all

Falmouth Skatepark is equipped with a variety of ramps, rails, and bowls, providing the perfect environment for honing your skills or trying something new. Whether you’re a seasoned wheeler or just starting out, you’ll find the park welcoming and accessible. It’s completely free to use—just bring your gear and safety equipment.

Plan Your Visit

• Opening Hours: The skatepark is open throughout the year and is free of charge.
• Location: Located at the lower end of the Dracaena Playing Fields, Dracaena Avenue, Falmouth, TR11 2ES (see map below).
• Getting there: Wherever possible we encourage visitors to walk, scoot, cycle, skate or use public transport to get to Falmouth Skatepark. There are bus stops on Dracaena Avenue less than a 5 minute walk away with regular buses to and from Falmouth stopping there including the U1, U1X, U2 and U4.
• Accessibility: The skatepark has been designed for wheelchair access and use. Limited accessible parking is available on site at the Dracaena Centre but please be aware that the surface of the car park is currently rough and uneven.
• Public toilets: Coming soon (see ‘What’s Next’ below)

What’s Next?

While the skatepark is open and ready for use, a few updates are still on the way:

• Final Touches: We’ll be planting grass, wildflowers, and trees around the park in autumn 2024. Until then, please help keep the skatepark clean and in good condition by using the brooms provided to sweep away any excess soil or stones that might make it onto the surface of the skatepark.
• Public Toilet: We’re working with the Dracaena Centre to add a public toilet accessible during and outside of the centre’s opening hours. Updates will follow as this project progresses.
• New Seating: New seating around the skatepark coming soon, offering a spot to relax and watch the action.
• Future Plans: We’re also working on improving access to the car park with a turning circle. However, additional funding is needed for this, so we’re actively exploring opportunities to complete this project.

Funding the Skatepark

This community asset was created thanks to years of fund raising dedication by the Falmouth Skatepark Project committee. Financial support came from Falmouth Town Council as well as generous donations from Falmouth and Penryn Lions Club, Cornwall Holiday Cottages and Sessions Surf and Skate shop. A major grant from the National Lottery Community Fund completed the funding requirement. Falmouth Town Council oversaw the project, working with specialist skatepark contractors Maverick and the project was completed a month ahead of schedule in July 2024.
