Skatepark – The Sports Trust

Skating

F51 Folkestone is a world-class urban sports venue with three stacked floors dedicated to skateboarding and BMX. The park offers a wide range of riding styles, from street to transition, and surfaces including both concrete and timber.

Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced rider, F51 provides facilities designed for all ages, abilities, and confidence levels.

Why it's needed

F51 provides a safe, purpose-built space for young people and the wider community to access skateboarding and BMX, helping remove barriers to participation in these growing sports.
