Collingwood Recreation Ground in West Sutton has a nice little concrete bowl, next to an area of rough tarmac with some old concrete and metal ramps (although the bowl is probably more fun). The bowl is a nice simple design with a shallow capsule shaped portion linked to a deeper and wider circular portion, with an extension.

This skatepark at the Pollard’s Hill park between Mitcham and Norbury is quite large with several bit to appeal to different riders. It’s a largest square-ish layout with four holes of grass in the middle, creating track like sections. There are hipped quarter pipes in two corners, with a taco and bowled out corner with hip in the others. Between them is a large driveway/hip with rail and hubba ledges. Also pump bumps and ledges between the other corners. Also a curved ledge over a grass corner.

This skatepark is in the corner of Wandle Park, Croydon, just near the tram stop of the same name. The layout and size of transitions heavily favour BMX riders with hips and a spine ramp arranged to form a dirt jump style course almost. There is a smaller hip and manual pad with ledge that will suit skateboarders too though.

Clapham Common skatepark used to be a metal on tarmac affair, however it has recently been replaced with a mixture of concrete ramps on tarmac and a full resurfaced concrete section too. It has a huge variety of obstacles, most of which are very street influenced with several different shape and height ledges around the park. Also the usual mix of quarters and flat banks around the edges, also a concrete mini-ramp too.

Not really that much to say about this skatepark in Rotary Field, as it’s simply a five foot metal mini ramp. In good condition considering it looks quite old.

This skatepark is a shining example of what can be achieved with an odd shape of land, wrapped around a football/basketball court in this case. With a concrete miniramp and small hip and bowl section at each end, connected by a strip with a long bank and a pair of ledges in a line.
