The Best Parks in Bath to Practice Extreme Sports

If you’re resident in and around Bath and practice an extreme sport, you’ll probably need to know the places you can go in order to really let loose around the city.

Parks are the obvious conclusion to come to, of course- wide open spaces, with many providing specific resources for those of an extreme disposition, like skate ramps. But it can often be difficult, not to mention time-consuming, to do research on which Bath parks will provide the best experience for you and your specific extreme sport. So, to help you out just a bit, here compiled for your convenience are a few of the best parks in Bath that we could find to practice extreme sports within, helping you to find the one best tailored to you.

Royal Victoria Park

The Royal Victoria Park offers a range of facilities to suit every visitor- bandstands, duck ponds, flower gardens. But its ease of access, wide open spaces and handy play area mean it’s ideal for sports enthusiasts. Head here for a full list of the services it offers. If you’re excited by the idea of learning to skate or BMX, the Royal Victoria park could well serve as the perfect starting place for them to practice their skills. But its range of other fun activities means that even if you want a break, there’s a great many other things they can get involved with as well. But the crown jewel of Royal Victoria Park is the skate area it houses, where anyone can practice their skills. This is, of course, particularly ideal for the skateboarder, but is also a dream for those interested in BMXing and stunt scootering, which is rapidly rising in popularity in recent times. For anyone looking to get started in that sport, MADD MGP scooters are considered the most popular extreme scooter brand, so would be a perfect choice for anyone looking to learn some skills.

Alexandra Park

Alexandra Park offers fantastic views of the city of Bath-noted to be one of the best available- but this is far from its only merit. The sheer number of tall trees it houses within its grounds mean that it is ideal for those who practice tightrope-walking or other acrobatic disciplines. This means you can enjoy the great views of the city while also putting the time in on your sport. There is also free parking available as well as outdoor table tennis tables, for the sportsperson who fancies his or herself a little less extreme.

Alice Park

Alice Park’s eight acres of wide-open green space mean it’s the perfect choice for anyone looking to practice a sport which requires a lot of room to do so. Anything from BMXing to tennis at the Park’s courts would be an ideal fit here, while there is also a children’s cycling track for the novice extreme sports enthusiast. And once you’ve been tired out for the day, you can always head to the café to relax and enjoy a coffee.
