FACILITIES

The new park will be purpose built and bigger and better in every way. This will be the indoor centre of excellence that is badly needed for our sports with spectator and broadcast facilities designed from the outset. As far as possible it will be a sustainable and eco-friendly. It will do all that the old one did for riders and their families and so much more. 

For the Riders

Park Section: This will be designed like no other park anywhere in the world, with flexible elements to keep the experience and competitions fresh. 

Complete Practice Area: Resi Quarters, Spines, Jump Boxes and Foam Pit with Video Cameras and screens to show the riders what they are doing well and not so well.

Pump Track:  The pump track will have challenging turns and jumps but will be wide enough for two riders to compete against each other.

Bowl: Large, deep and long - the feeling of Vert but never ending.

Street Section: Creating a real urban vibe with flexible features to bring extra challenges for more experienced and professional riders. 

The Next Generation

Beginners Area: Increased space will mean there can be a dedicated beginners area, with a variation of small to medium jumps, pump track and small resi. 

Mini Shredders Area: For children 1 and 5years of age for wheeled play. 

Centre of Excellence

Whilst we love all our riders, all our riders love aspiration and excellence. This has been a feature of the first Rush Skatepark and will continue to be so. We are committed to growing the next generation of champions and medal winners and the facilities for practice, coaching and competition will reflect this ambition. 

Accessibility

Another area where Rush has a successful legacy to build on. Rush will continue working with All Sorts - a local specialist charity for children with disabilities to ensure that they have the consistent and frequent opportunity to have the Rush experience
