Took daughter to practice on her new skateboard. Quite a bit of litter on the ground but this could have just blown in so not really a complaint with it being outside. Plenty of ramps and things to test your skills on. Probably will revisit

Best skate park in Wigan. Lots of different ramps, transition and ledges to learn on. The spacing and position of the ramps could be better, also the ground is known as a "cheese grater" so avoid bare skin.
