The list of concrete skateparks in Scotland from 'Not Just Concrete'.

Notice something? Leith isn’t on the list. As we step into 2025, this is exactly why we’re campaigning for skate facilities right here in our community.

Great news for West Pilton. 👏

Delighted that improvement plans for West Pilton Park have been approved by the City of Edinburgh Council. The park will benefit from a £4m investment for improvements to access, play, wildlife, planting, and recreation.

In the absence of any skate or BMX facilities in Leith, we’re very lucky to have a fantastic open-access, community-run pump track nearby in Holyrood Park. 1/3
