In 2008 work began to create Bridlington’s Gasworx Skatepark. The skatepark is an unsupervised facility. We encourage younger users to avoid the facility at busy times, to be accompanied by an adult and for all users to ride within their own abilities and to wear appropriate safety equipment.
The Gasworx is located at Dukes Park, Moorfield Road, Bridlington YO16 4LE

The Gasworx Skatepark is a place for local youth to meet, let off steam, socialise and develop friendships based on a common, healthy interest. We provide a facility to enable youngsters who are not attracted to traditional team sports to express their individuality in an athletic manner. Encouraging young people to become involved in esteem – building activities such as skateboarding/riding, helps to boost their confidence in many other aspects of their lives.
It is well documented that the majority of skateboarding, scooter and BMX fatalities are caused by road traffic accidents or young people falling off their equipment. Many of these fatalities could be avoided by wearing the correct protective clothing and equipment, in particular the wearing of helmets! At the Gasworx we actively encourage the wearing of suitable safety equipment whilst providing a “safe” yet challenging environment for young people to skate or ride.
