Skater carving Banchory Skatepark under a rainbow

Banchory · Aberdeenshire · Est. by the community

ALL WHEELS.
ONE PARK.

A community-built, not-for-profit skatepark in the heart of Banchory. Skateboards, BMX, scooters, blades — bring your wheels, bring your mates, respect the concrete.

01

Built by locals

Years of fundraising, planning and graft from Banchory parents, skaters and volunteers. No council magic — just people who care.

02

Not-for-profit

Every penny we raise goes back into the park. Maintenance, lighting, repairs, the next phase. None of us take a wage.

03

Everyone rolls

Skateboards, BMX, scooters, inline. Beginners to rippers. Respect each other, hype each other up, leave it better than you found it.

Help us keep rolling

The park doesn't run on thin air. It runs on you.

Concrete cracks. Coping wears. Lights blow. We fundraise constantly to keep Banchory Skatepark safe, open and free to use. Any amount helps — and 100% of it goes back into the park.
