This park does not have a website but i last visited there in 2003, i think the park layout has been changed so the photos i have of the place might not reflect what is there now. I do know a vert ramp has been built there and now seems to have the addition of pool tables and consoles from what i have read about the place on various other websites.

If anyone has any information on admission costs and opening hours and has photos of what the park looks like now, that would be greatly appreciated.


Helmets must be worn by everyone, the park does not hire helmets out for health and safety reasons so to avoid disappointment take your own with you.

You can find some photos i took in 2003, i don't know how much of the park is still the same though. Mount Hawke Skatepark

man that place looks nice!

Nice looking park, however I wouldn't skate it on a busy day because 1)you'd end up hitting skating into someone every 2 minutes and 2) I can picture there being alot of complete arseholes there who like to taje the piss out of shite skaters

I don't think BMXers are allowed in either, only only special days.

Hey Darris

Just wondering if you took those photos of Mount hawke yourself, and if so could I please use them for my student magazine? I'm writing a feature about skating facilities in Cornwall and forgot to take photos last week when I was up there! Lemme know either way cheers

Do you have photo's of the park in Newquay? If you do then perhaps we could trade and help each other out?

Um, Can't say I do but If I get any I'll let you know.

Mount Hawke has changed a lot since then, some stuff is still there but lots of the stuff in those photos have gone! The ramps are really slippy there too!

Here is a site with a coupl eof pictures on from Wooden waves in Newquay. I dunno if thats the park you talking about but thats the only one I lnow of!

Thanks Ben, I always thought Wooden Waves was a mix of indoor and outdoor.

Nah just outdoor, ive been there 3 times I think. If it rains though you have to leave and can only go back if it dries up. I remember I had to session a curb outside the park until it had dried up!

Hey Darris can I use your pictures pretty please?

Do you pay to get in?

n01d34 you can use them if you like in your magazine, may i see the article when you have done it?

Of course! iT'S THE LEAST i CAN DO! thanKS a lot for your cooperation!

Yeah you have to pay. Its £2 to rent a helmet, £5 deposit for the helmet but you get that back at the end, and £5 to stay there all day I think!

that park rules iv been their loads and i never get tired

The park is sick, apart from the slippiness of the ramps!

their not that slippy

Yeah they are, half the tricks I landed on them slid out, I wouldnt go on the vert ramp because it was so slippy!

I live in newquay an wooden waves has a new owner and its free 2 get in!!!!!!!

Yeah but it is shit.

it's not bad seeings it's free

Wooden Waves is now free? Is it all outdoor or indoor? I don't normally spend too long in Newquay if I am down Cornwall as its normally packed.

i had mount hawke all to myself!!!!!!!!!!!! and 9 of my friends it was insane

Yeah if you go to mount hawke on a weekday you usually have the whole park to yourself from 9 til about 5, its cool.

Wooden Waves is a rotten mess of damp wood, rusty copings and deep puddles - the park is a shithole and is destined to be knocked down very soon. Hopefully make way for Truros Plaza.

Nah its not, Wooden Waves is a good park. It has a bit of everything there, rails (well one rail) blocks, funbox's, hip, quaters, hipped quarters, vert ramp, mini ramp with transfer, jump box, spine, vert wall, flatbanks, and flat ground if you feel like taking a break from obstacles. Whats not to like about it, except the roughish floor lol but its far from the worst ive seen!

Hello everyone , i was just wondering if anyone was interested in making a skate video with me?
I have been skating for a long time and have been very on and off, at one stage i was quite good and now im not although i will still flip the odd stair set.

Cornwall is where i will do the filming, so i would be looking for plenty of locals.

Basically and College i have been asked to compile a promo of anyone in Cornwall who skates, i will be using professional equipment that will editied on the best software around.

I will be coming around in March time to start my filming process which shall take around a week. All im looking for is for a few people, maybe a group of friends to skate on camera and do a short interview on how skateboarding has influenced you.
Im only 17 myself so it would be good if i can get my own skating on camera as well.

Anyone who participates will recieve a free deck and a fully edited copy of their skating.

Thanks everyone
