*** NEW YEAR, NEW SCOOTER SESSIONS ***
We have made some changes to how Scooter Only Sessions are operated now at @rockcityskatepark
With the level of behaviour and appreciation now at a good standard we are softening the direct supervision on all Scooter Only Sessions.
... Like with the Mixed Skate and BMX Sessions we will continue to patrol the skatepark regularly to make sure everyone is playing nicely.
As a result the cost of Scooter Only Sessions with be reduced to £10, bringing them in line with the Mixed Skate and BMX Sessions.
We advise everyone to please check the club website for the latest information, especially before travelling far.
We appreciate the good vibe and will continue to look for the best way to keep as many people rolling in the safest environment.

SKATEPARK WINTER SESSIONS
We are pleased to announce that Rockcity Skatepark will remain open for the winter.
We have had a great time this last few days and all those who have skated and ridden the park have been truly awesome. So our psyche is back and after such positive feedback on the new sessions we are reopening the skatepark full time again.
... We are sorry to those few who called for it to close, but the majority of skaters and riders don't agree with you.
Please remember to check the new session time and prices before you travel - https://rockcity.co.uk/skatepark-informat ion/

TRICK OR TREAT?
Rockcity Skatepark main room will re-open briefly on Saturday (26th October) until Halloween (31st October).
For anyone who can remember, the opening jam of the new park was on Halloween 2013. We have until this Halloween to decide if Hull should keep it's indoor skatepark or we should let the space go to another use.
... There are major changes to the opening hours, prices and conditions of use so please make sure you update before travelling to Rockcity. - https://rockcity.co.uk/skatepark-informat ion/
We have put the last couple of months of closure to good use to get all the scooter damage to the ramps repaired.
There is also a new zero tolerance policy in place. The doors are open to anyone who brings respect and the door is closed to those who bring the hate. After All, It's a skatepark, not a hatepark.
Thanks to our social media accounts we have managed to collect quite a big list of all the haters from the recent posts and these people are now banned from using Rockcity again. But, it is a shame to stop everyone else using it because of a few angry, selfish and bitter bullies that haven't got anything decent to say about anything. They can click 'UNFOLLOW' at any time. If anyone else would like to be added to the list please jump on the hate train and comment accordingly.
Prices are based on who uses the skatepark and the real costs associated with each visit. This is mainly based on the litter dropped, the first aid needed and the wear and tear on the skatepark and the building. The Skatepark isn't a creche so we don't allow children to stay in all day. No food is allowed in the Skatepark and only drinks in plastic bottles are permitted. no cans, no glass bottles or juice cartons.
Scooter Sessions are now supervised by Rockcity staff to ensure satisfactory behaviour and are separate from Skateboard and BMX sessions. This is not coaching or any safety measure and does not mean that accidents are any less avoidable. It means that those who cease to meet our minimum standard of behavior will be asked to leave and not allowed back in.

SKATEPARK CLOSURE UPDATE
We wanted to reach out to those who valued having a skatepark in Hull and we wanted to offer some light on what has gone on this year. Those of you who have not been part of the recent hate campaign might want to know the truth about some of the rumours that have been spread.
Rockcity Bowl did not close to make room for more climbing walls.
... Rockcity Skatepark hasn't closed to turn the space into more climbing walls.
Rockcity Skatepark hasn't closed for financial reasons. The climbing centre is open every day as normal. #goodvibes
Rockcity Skatepark hasn't closed due to a major incident, like the roof falling in or an accident or getting sued.
Rockcity is not under new management, it's still run by the same rock climbers who listened to the needs of their friends who skated and shared some space within the climbing centre 24 years ago.
Rockcity Skatepark is not run for profit, if it was it would be open. It has been subsidised and only possible because of the climbing centre.
Climbing, Skate and BMX lived for many years in harmony, but recently there has been a lot of hate towards climbers on social media and in the skatepark which has led in part to this closure.
We are happy if Skate and BMX feel sufficiently independent now to go its own way, but we, Rockcity, are not the problem here. Eventually a good use for our space will present itself.
In January, we were invited to save Leeds Works, by our friends at City Bloc. In February we spent a month reclaiming and storing an entire skatepark that had closed suddenly (see photo), many skateparks have gone already and foolishly we felt we could do more to support skating and riding. Little did we know that only a few months later we would be on the wrong side of the line and climbing would become the enemy of skateparks.
We worked to get skateboarding accepted and included by Hull City Council, making it the UK's only skateboard friendly city.
Its funny how in just six months everything has changed. The vandalism, damage to the ramps, the walls, the toilets, litter, abuse of staff from adults, parents and children using the skatepark. We could carry on banning people, arguing with people, stopping the fighting and generally having to be some kind of community wardens. It never used to be like this and we certainly aren't going to carry on doing it.
We are truly grateful to those of you who came, saw and conquered our ramps and showed us genuine love at the same time.
