Skateable tells you whether your local spot is worth the trip, then tracks the session when you roll out. SKATEABILITY SCORE Every spot gets a live 0–100 score based on current weather, the last 48 hours of rain history, the spot's surface type, sun exposure, drainage quality and more. No guessing, just a number. PopSense Drop your phone in your pocket and let PopSense handle the rest. Automatic session detection, live stats from every sesh, and a training mode to help you progress. PLAN AHEAD Tap "Plan Session" to see a forecast skateability score for any time in the next 7 days. Useful when the weekend weather looks borderline. CREW Roll with your crew. Add skaters as friends, see when and where they're skating, and keep your spots in sync. TRIPS Plan a road trip with the crew. Pick the spots, pick the day, get a forecast for each spot, and roll out together. GAME OF S.K.A.T.E Settle it in the app. Trick for trick, letter for letter · a digital scorecard for the classic game. WIDGETS Pin the score to your home screen or lock screen. One glance and you know if it's on. EVERYWHERE YOU SKATE Companion apps for Apple Watch, Apple TV and CarPlay mean the score follows you wherever you go. COMMUNITY SESSIONS Skaters log whether a spot was dry or wet when they skated it. Recent reports feed into the score so it reflects ground truth, not just weather data. SPOT ATTRIBUTES Each spot tracks what matters: surface type (modern smooth, old concrete, rough asphalt, timber, steel, indoor), sun exposure, drainage quality, and hazard warnings like pebble risk or snake warnings. LOCATIONS & MAP Save your local spots. Filter by distance, search by name, and view them on a map with the Nearby tab. Swipe a row to flag bad data or remove a spot. SHARE CONDITIONS Tap the share icon on any spot to generate a conditions card you can send to your crew. COMMUNITY SAFETY Report any inappropriate content, block users and manage a blocked list in Settings. We review and act on every report within 24 hours. Terms of Use: https://skateable.io/docs/terms
Rate My Skate

Every skatepark in the UK, in one place. Rate My Skate lists 2,477 skateparks across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — from the Isles of Scilly to Shetland. Find the ones near you, see what they're actually like, and say what you think. FIND SOMEWHERE TO SKATE Parks nearest you first, with the distance to each. Search by park or by town. See them all on a map and tap any pin. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Every park shows its real size, measured from the shape it's mapped as — so you can tell a couple of ramps in a car park from a full concrete plaza before you drive there. Where we can, we'll also tell you how far it is to the nearest car park and public toilets. Useful if you're bringing kids. RATINGS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Rate a park out of five in one tap. If you've got a moment, score the four things that actually decide whether a park is worth a trip: • Surface — how it rides. Cracks, grit, whether it drains. • Features — the range and quality of ramps, rails and bowls. • Upkeep — whether it's looked after. Damage, litter, glass. • Vibe — how welcoming it is, and whether beginners get a fair go. SAY WHAT IT'S LIKE Pick from a set of short phrases — smooth concrete, good for beginners, easy parking — and add a note of your own if none of them fit. Comments are anonymous. Anything you write in your own words is read by a person before it appears. PHOTOS AND CLIPS, CHECKED BY A PERSON Add a photo of a park, or a ten-second clip, so others can see what they're getting. Clips are silent, and of the park rather than the people in it. Every one is looked at by a real person before it appears — and anything you add, you can delete whenever you like. LESSONS Where a club or a coach runs sessions at a park, you may see a link at the foot of its page. Those are added by hand, by us. Nobody else can post one. BUILT FOR SKATERS AND THE PEOPLE DRIVING THEM Free. No adverts. No tracking. Ratings are anonymous — your name is never shown. Signing in with Apple simply stops one person rating the same park fifty times. Your phone checks photos for faces before anything is sent, and offers to blur them. It checks clips the same way, and won't send one with a recognisable face in it at all. Skateparks are full of kids, so we don't publish recognisable faces. Park locations come from OpenStreetMap contributors.
