Skate Parks Near Hexham
A £150,000 community-built skatepark in the Sele and Prudhoe's Highfield Park.
Sele Park Skatepark, Hexham
The centrepiece, reopened in early 2023 after a £150,000 community-led overhaul. The Hexham Youth Initiative spent years fundraising, securing £25,000 from Hexham Town Council and raising the balance themselves. The result is a modern concrete park with smooth transitions and variety for beginners and experienced skaters. Free to use, no booking, open year-round. Enter from Hallgate or Beaumont Street.
Highfield Park Skatepark, Prudhoe
About 9 miles east, Prudhoe's park was also completely rebuilt, a £180,000 project by CANVAS Spaces. One of the better community skateparks in the region. Reachable by bus (X84/X85) or rail (one stop east on the Newcastle-Carlisle line).
Other Options
- Riverside Park, Corbridge, small, basic, suitable for younger beginners
- Haltwhistle, modest skate area in the recreation ground
- Newcastle and Gateshead for larger, more technical parks
Tips
The Sele park gets busy on warm evenings and weekends. No official supervision. Helmets and pads strongly recommended. The concrete is unforgiving.
