History

The skatepark officially opened in October 2001 in a former bus depot and underwent much building and development work. For instance, after opening, a giant halfpipe was constructed, making it the largest permanent halfpipe in Britain at the time.

Epic Skatepark closed its doors in 2006 and was re-opened by new owners. In 2009, it became a registered charity existing to provide facilities for skateboarders, inline skaters, BMX riders and, more recently, scooter riders. Creation Skatepark is registered with the Charities Commission under number 1131084.
