Transgression Park is the latest initiative to come out of the EHX team. It’s an Urban FreeSport destination catering for all your urban and ‘extreme’ sporting requirements. The park will open in January 2008. Initially the park will consist of an indoor skatepark, a breakdance area, a café and a shop. However as we get going we will be introducing free running, tricking, trials, a stunt school, an airbag and anything else you tell us you want to see (within reason!).The park was designed by Scotlands pro BMX rider Dave Sowerby. Dave was also behind the design of Penicuik Skatepark. We think he’s done a pretty neat job incorporating street and ramp features for BMX, Blades and Skateboards into the 9020 sq ft floor space.
The Park is located on the top level of the Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre which must make it the highest Skatepark in the UK. It also has views out across the Forth Estuary and the Royal Yacht Britannia – pretty cool!
Opening times: Monday to Sunday 10:00 – 22:00
The park is still on target to open on the 12th of Jan, but keep an eye on the website for updates. The park will also be open to those who roll on big wheels. Hardtail mountain bikes will be able to use the park, just clean your bike first please.
Hopefully I'll get down there for the opening day and get a few snaps for Issue 6!
