  • Skate Park 
    Situated on Rhodeswell Road, adjacent to the railway arches, Mile End is a heavily street orientated skate park, although there is a small swimming pool style bowl and wooden mini ramp indoors. It has several ledges spread out around the park, lots of flat land areas, manual pads and a nice hip with a ledge on top. It’s very much a good park to train your street skills up. There is also a small skate shop selling hardware and drinks, then a small indoor section with a couple of mini ramps and a big flat bank.
  • Urban Adventure Base
    The Urban Adventure Base is host to a range of exciting clubs offering the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, canoeing, climbing, art and media projects, biking, skateboarding, cookery, Wii games, fitness gym and other fun stuff.
