Save the environment and get there another way:Walking from the train station:This should only take about 10/15 mins or less if you skate!

Buses from the train station:Out of the main entrance to the train station catch the 10 or 10A going in the direction of the Acorn Inn (this should be on the side of the road that the train station is on). The skatepark is about 2 or 3 stops on. If in doubt ask the bus driver to tell you when you are near Shobnall Leisure Complex (on the right hand side of the road, you will be taken over two islands before it, if the bus takes you under a bridge you've gone too far!)
