ASYLUM SKATEPARK
FIRST TIME AT ASYLUM?
ASYLUM SKATEPARK
YOUR FIRST VISIT. SORTED.
Never ridden at Asylum before? Start here. This guide takes you from getting registered to checking in, finding your feet and sharing the park with other riders.
You don’t need to arrive knowing every trick or every ramp. Come prepared, tell us you’re new and give yourself time to settle into the session. If you’re organising a visit for someone else, share this guide with them before you travel.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
REGISTER FIRST. RIDE SOONER.
Everyone must register through Sessions before arrival to avoid delays. Make sure everyone in your group has completed their registration before leaving home.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST SESSION
GET THE ADMIN DONE BEFORE THE ACTION.
Have rider details and an emergency contact ready. Your disclaimer must include relevant medical conditions. Under-18s need a parent or guardian aged over 18 to sign it; disclaimers renew annually.
Arrange registration before the day so there’s time to resolve any questions. Contact the team if you need help completing it.
PLAN IT. PACK IT. RIDE IT.

02 / Sort your setup
Check your equipment before leaving home. Contact reception in advance if you need hire equipment or help with sizes.
03 / Check in first
Go to reception when you arrive and say it’s your first time. Ask for an induction before you head onto the ramps.
AT ASYLUM
A GUIDE FOR PARENTS & GUARDIANS.
Riders must be at least 5. Under-14s need parent or guardian supervision; children remain your responsibility throughout their visit.
Spectators must stay off the ramps. Ask reception where to watch and keep younger children out of riding areas. Agree where to meet your rider at the end of the session; ask staff for help if you need it.
Our cafe is there for a food break. Keep meals and drinks away from the riding area.
GET YOUR KIT READY.
Helmet first
Helmets are compulsory for under-18s. Reception offers helmet hire for £5; check size availability before travelling.
Extra protection
Pads and guards are recommended. Bring suitable clothing and well-maintained equipment, and check that your protection fits securely.
The right equipment
BMX, MTB, skateboards, inline skates and scooters are permitted unless a session says otherwise. Folding, collapsible and three-wheeled scooters are not allowed.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST SESSION
THE BASICS EVERY VISITOR SHOULD KNOW.
- Keep food, drinks and spectators off the ramps.
- Leave riding lines, rails and landing areas clear.
- Respect every sport and ability. Offensive or aggressive behaviour is not accepted.
- No drugs, alcohol or smoking on the premises.
- Report injuries or antisocial behaviour to reception straight away.
- Keep your wristband on throughout your visit.
Read the full park rules for the bowl, foam pit and bouldering requirements.
GET TO KNOW THE FLOW
LOOK AROUND. TAKE YOUR TURN.
Watch how people move through an area before you join in. Wait for your turn, check both directions and keep your equipment back from the ramp edge while you wait.
Start with features that suit your experience. Keep turns short when others are waiting, take breaks off the course and give beginners room to learn. A friendly word and a little patience make a better session for everyone.
A FEW MORE FIRST-VISIT QUESTIONS.
What time can I visit?
Check Opening Hours for the regular timetable, holiday changes and special dates. Confirm your chosen session before travelling.
Does registration book my session?
Get registered before arrival, then check your session arrangements separately. Use Book a session or contact the team for availability and booking help.
What if I have never used a skatepark?
Let reception know and ask for an induction. You can also enquire about coaching if you would like guidance before progressing to new features.
What should I have ready at check-in?
Have your registration and any booking details ready. If anything has changed since registering, tell reception before riding.
