About South Shields Skate Park
South Shields Skate Park is a free-to-use outdoor facility on the Promenade next to Sandhaven Beach. Managed by South Tyneside Council, it offers flowing ramps, contours, transitions and bowls suited to skateboards, scooters and BMX bikes, catering for a range of abilities. Its seafront setting makes it a popular spot with local riders, and it sits alongside an adjacent basketball court and multi-use games area, so visitors can combine wheeled sports with other outdoor activities in the same location.
