Skatepark Staff
Whenever the park is open there are paid staff on duty, overseeing activities and ensuring park user safety. This is one of the big advantages of Southsea Skatepark over free, public skateparks, parents can have peace of mind that the skatepark is supervised by trained marshals.
All of our staff and regular volunteers are DBS checked and first aid trained.
We have a dedicated first aid room and all our staff and regular volunteers are first aid trained.
Skatepark Volunteers
We welcome volunteer help for a range of tasks – marshalling, repairs and maintenance, gardening etc. Any volunteers working with the park users, such as marshals, need to be DBS checked (which we arrange).
We have formed a partnership with the University of Portsmouth to facilitate students accessing specific volunteering opportunities, if you are a student you can find out more and apply on the University of Portsmouth Volunteering website.
If you would like to get involved, please reach out via the button below or speak in person with our manager Effraim and then pick up a volunteer form from the park.
Spectators
Spectators are welcome at no charge whenever the park is open, however we do expect you to observe the safety rules.
Spectators are welcome to sit in the stand area, visit the cafe, explore the shop and to relax in a number of different and safe seating areas around the skatepark. If you are spectating please do not sit or stand on the ramps.
We often have spectators and parents relaxing at the skatepark, getting creative or even working remotely.
Please remember that children under 8 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
