Trenchard Street Car Park
Skate Spot
Trenchard Street Car Park, nestled in the heart of Bristol, has become a hidden gem for longboarders, particularly those who seek the thrill of skating in an urban environment. The open-air top floor is the highlight, offering a spacious and smooth concrete surface that’s perfect for a variety of riding styles. With its panoramic views of the city skyline, the setting is as inspiring as it is practical. The top floor’s wide, unobstructed expanse makes it ideal for longboarding. Beginners can practice the fundamentals like carving and balance in a safe and controlled environment, while intermediate and advanced riders often use the space to refine freestyle tricks and dancing routines. The slight slope on one side adds an extra dynamic for those looking to incorporate gentle downhill runs into their session.
Meeting Point
On the open air top floor (Level 11)
Parking Info
Parking is easy as it is a multi story car park however please do not park on the top floor where we skate so you don't get in the way! As with all city centre parking, it is not the cheapest so you may wish to try to find some local side street parking however this is typically quite difficult!
Facilities
Being just off Park Street & near Harbourside there are many cafes and pubs from a post skate drink, however there is no toilet or water bottle filling facillites in Trenchard Street Car Park itself.
Environment
Trenchard Street Car Park is an open air skate spot and therefore is affected by bad weather. Please find out more about our bad weather cancellation policy here. The top floor is well lit so there is no issues with after dark sessions and it is open 24 hours.
If the weather changes during the session (and depending on how busy the lower floors are) we may be able to locate down to Level 10 so we are covered.
