Kings Field Skatepark | Overview
Kings Field Skatepark located on the outskirts of Kingston has been a project running for a long time. A lot of the locals have waited for this day for several years (probably from the start the plastic ramps were put in) But now thanks to some strong willed locals the park is open. I thought i would do one last post documenting the ramp setup. There are a lot of images in this final picture set but i thought it gives a good overview of the whole park.

Post Closed
I have decided to close the posts on the ‘shame‘ article as its getting a bit out of hand.
I just read a post saying: “… james just remember we all know who you are……………..”
That was uncalled for. If you have noticed in the comment thread I haven’t made one comment about this as I wanted to leave it open as a discussion point. There is no need to make open threats to me. I didn’t take these pictures and honestly it doesn’t matter. It was merely to highlight the fact that the Skatepark shouldn’t be ridden..by anyone. The information i was given was regarding the issue of insurance and the threat of it been closed down if used. Something none of us want. Yes I’ve seen bmxers ride the skatepark which is disappointing, so it was not a post attacking skateboarders, it just so happened that they were there at the time.
There is no need to get aggressive about this. At the end of the day we all wanted the Skatepark, we all do a similar sport, and we all have fun doing it. I don’t feel anything bad towards anyone who rode/skated/bladed the park just sad that some people couldn’t wait, but that’s their call.
By the time you read this the park will be open, lets just enjoy it. J
Complex Session Under 16′s
Some news about the Kings Field Complex Session Jam on the 28th May:
The word from the council regarding under 16′s who want to take part in the Complex Session on May 28th is this…..

Old Kingston Skatepark Edits
I think pretty much everyone had a love hate relationship with Kingston Skatepark, it was built in this carbon fiber plastic that you wouldn’t wish on any skatepark but seemed to be favorite with councils at that time. None the less, it was a skatepark, and it was our local so we made do. Some nice little edits came out of it and with that i put together a list of as many edits i could find of the old Kingston ramps. Check it out.
