Good news for Oxfordshire skateboarders, as Wheelscape have just started working on Thame Skatepark and the plans look very interesting indeed! From the final design plans this looks like it could become a destination not to be left off skate tours, so have a look through, read the specs and get hyped…
Address: Thame Skatepark, Meadow View Park, Tythrop Way (A4129) , OX9 3RN, Thame, Oxfordshire.
Wheelscape have been working in conjunction with the Thame user group for nearly two years since first being awarded the project. In this time the design has been fully developed to suit the needs of the local user group and we believe it will be a great destination park!
The park has a footprint area of 925m² and hosts a whole load of features including the following:
- Large Bowl with hips, rolled sections, jump ramp, spine, Wallride, varying height ramps from 1.3-2.3m
- Split Street Course
- Level Change with large 3 set of stairs, hubba ledge, step-up gap and handrail
- Kicker to kicker/Flat Bank Hip Blend with Handrail
- Various Flat Ledges/Rails/Ledge Combos
- Quarter Pipe Channel Gap over Bank to Block
- Large 4 Set with Slider Hubba
- Slappy Kerb
- Large Handrail
- 3 Way Pyramid Hip
All this plus a whole lot more.
There is also going to be a maintenance box built in to the back of one of the quarter pipe platforms with a quarter pipe channel gap over it. Some of the local user group will be given keys to this storage unit that will contain brushes, squeedgies and other items to help keep the park tidy.
