The sessions are two hours for a very small fee and there are refreshments for the parents too. The skate-park has been taken on by some of the parents of the children who regularly attended it before it was shut down in April 2007. They have recently redesigned and refurbished the ramps and surfaces and also now have a beginers area too. And they have an online shop.
So if your children are restless, want to try something new or just like sports with wheels on, take them up to Laker road and check it out for the afternoon!!
