Did you know? Crystal Palace Park held the first major UK national skateboarding competition in 1977!

At this year's Summer of Play, North London Skate Club are bringing their skateboarding workshops to help children and young people get rolling this summer. These workshops are designed to give complete beginners an introduction to the basics of skateboarding and provide an opportunity to try the sport in a safe and welcoming environment. These workshops are the perfect opportunity to give something new a go, all you need to bring with you is an open mind and we’ll provide all the safety gear and most importantly - skateboards! See you at the park!

North London Skate Club prioritise a sense of community and mutual learning. 'We believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute, regardless of their role or experience level. So, whether you’re a coach, a seasoned athlete, or a newcomer, you can always

expect to be welcomed with open arms and supported by your peers.'

There are three 60 minute sessions:

10:00 – 11:00

11:15 – 12:15

12:30 – 13:30

All for participants aged 6 to 18 years old*

*Under 14’s must be accompanied / observed throughout the session by a responsible adult.

All equipment provided, including safety gear and helmets.

We aim to be as inclusive as possible and ask that you let us know if you have any particular requirements at point of booking.

Check in opens 15 mins prior to each session at the Skatepark. There will be a mandatory safety briefing where you will be introduced to the activity so latecomers may not be admitted.

This is a FREE ADMISSION event. Tickets are limited to four (4) per person. Please cancel any bookings that will not be used so that others can attend.

The Summer of Play programme is made possible thanks to a grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery players.
