BANGOR SKATEBOARD PARK 

THIS IS THE UNOFFICIAL SITE OF FAST EDDIE IRVINE'S SKATEPARK IN BANGOR NORTHERN IRELAND

LOCATION: THE SKATE PARK IS IN A LARGE WAREHOUSE ON THE RATHGAIL ROAD IN BANGOR CO. DOWN. JUST OF THE BANGOR TO NEWTOWNARDS  DUAL CARRIAGEWAY BESIDE THE  DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR NORTHERN IRELAND.

LOOK OUT FOR RICHARD  MORROW'S CAR SALES AND THE SIGN FOR THE SNOOKER CLUB BECAUSE IN A BRILLIANT BIT OF MARKETING THERE IS NO SIGN UP FOR THE SKATEPARK.

COST: AS FAR AS I REMEMBER ITS £5 DURING THE WEEK AND £8 ALL DAY SATURDAY WHICH IS DEAR ENOUGH BUT YOU'LL BE SAFE AND DRY IF NOT WARM ,AND FREE FROM ALL THE OLD PERVES AND SEX OFFENDERS THAT HAVE BEEN RELOCATED TO DUFFERN AND GRAY'S HILL WHO HANG ABOUT THE SEA FRONT.

THAT'S £'S STERLING NONE OF YOUR EUROS UP HERE YET. :-) 

CHECK OUT THE FACILITIES IN THE PHOTOS BELOW.

HERE IS AN OVER VIEW OF THE STREET AREA

THIS IS A SIDE PROFILE OF THE BANKS ON THE FAR WALL AND THE MINI RAMP

SAME BANKS AGAIN FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE.

THIS IS THE 1/4 PIPE AT AT THE SIDE OF THE MINI AND THE RAMPS UP TO ITS PLATFORM.

THIS IS LOOKING BACK UP THE PARK TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE.

THIS IS THE LOVELY NEW MIDI RAMP ITS 5FT 8 HIGH. I DON'T GET THE TOMBSTONE THING BUT I'M SURE THE BMXICANS AND FRUITBOOTERS WILL PUT IT TO GOOD USE.

THE BLUE HUT IN THE BACKGROUND IS THE SHOP AND WHERE EVERYBODY PAYS. DECKS ARE PRETTY CHEAP AT £45 FOR FLIP ETC BUT STOCK IS LIMITED I SUPPOSE THAT'S CAUSE MOST OF YOU SUCKERS STILL USE MAIL ORDER. SO USE THE SHOP AND SUPPORT THE PARK SO YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO SKATE ON THOSE COLD AND WET SUMMER NIGHTS

THIS IS THE ROW OF BANKS AS YOU COME IN ABOUT51/2- 6FT HIGH OR SO

HERE'S ANOTHER VIEW OF THE MIDI

AND LASTLY THE STREET COURSE AGAIN.

NOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN QUITE VOCAL ON HOW THE SKATEPARK IS RUN. ALL I WILL SAY ON THAT IS.

1. IT IS A BUSINESS SO THE CHANCES OF IT STILL BEING THERE IN A YEAR ARE BETTER IF EVERYBODY PAYS IN. NO MATTER HOW GOOD A SKATER YOU ARE.

2. SO ITS RUN BY NON SKATERS!! BIG DEAL. A LOT OF THE SKATEBOARD INDUSTRY IS, JUST LOOK AT THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE IT WAS RAMPAGE AND THE MONEY THAT'S BEEN SPENT ON IT.

3. ENJOY THIS SKATEPARK WHILE IT LASTS ITS THE BEST IN IRELAND AND RATES WITH SOME OF THE BEST IN THE UK. IF IT LACKS ANY THING ITS ATMOSPHERE BUT THAT'S A BY PRODUCT OF ITS SIZE AND THE SIZE OF THE WAREHOUSE.

THIS WEB SITE DOES NOT EXPRESS'S THE VIEWS OF EDDIE IRVINE OR ANY OF THE PARKS STAFF.

THERE ARE LOTS OF OLD CARS BENTLEY'S, ROLLERS, RACING CARS, CLASSICS ETC LYING ABOUT IN THE OTHER PART OF THE WAREHOUSE PLEASE DON'T TOUCH THESE OR YOU'LL GO HOME WEARING YOUR KNEE CAPS AS EAR MUFFS AS THEY SAY IN BELFAST.
