This link to the G1 website has a few pics and some vague directions. I havn't actually been there so I'm not sure about BMX use but I'd be surprised if you not allowed ride there.

You have to pay as well, greystones and bushy are much better and free!!

Blackrock is only in planning stages, I wouldn't expect anything for at last 2 years, maybe 3-4... it is Dun Laoghaire we are dealing with after all!

i saw a pic on a different thread andit said in the background "please check your boards and bikes for fault before entering", so will presume that means they are ok! the park looks fun enough in fairness. though would be better if it was free! the quarter in the flatbank to ledge looks cool. especially if u use it in a run with the funbox in front of it.

anyone up for ridin out there?

im a monkstown regular

bikes are allowed only bmx though

even though they charge you its only 3 euro and the sessions mean f**k all
you could stay there all day on the one entry.if you get to know the people behind the desk they start to let you in for free anyway!

Monkstown had the chance to build a superb park
Lots of people who actually know what they were on about got involved
- they (Dunlaoghaire CoCo) decided to revert to a modular German effort
:mad::mad:

Wouldn't expect much for the Blackrock proposal
- same people involved = clowns

Id have to agree completey with you john, seen it there a couple of weeks ago at the gravitation event, huge space but such a waste though

It really is a good place to have it, with all the other amenities there beside it too, but when u see the crap theyve wasted their money on, and what they got for it!! its fooken appalling. :mad:

great space totally wasted. pictures of in in the skateclub gallery, www.goreyskateclub.com
