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.

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.
