Dear Customer

We have begunconstruction work on the outside area that was formerly the Bowling Green.

This is beingdeveloped into a fantastic high ropes course and dirt jumps area which webelieve will significantly enhance the visitor experience at TransitionExtreme, and allow customers to try new challenges.

During theconstruction period there will inevitably be some disruptions to the Centre’scar parking area – both because of deliveries and also because we are extendingthe car parking spaces.

May I ask youto take EXTRA CARE whilst coming and going from Transition Extreme.

Many thanksfor your patience and understanding during this period of work. Shouldyou wish to find out more, please contact our reception team.

New Year, New Timetable

Click to view larger

We have made some small alterations to the skatepark timetable.
There are no major changes, some shifting of the coaching times by 15 minutes to create a gap between sessions to prevent lost time padding up during valuable coaching time. Due to popular demand we have also added an additional Birthday Party slot on Friday afternoons so we can now accomodate 3 parties a week.

We have also re-assesed our sessions and will be sticking to the Green, Amber and Red sessions in the timetable.

Green - Session reserved for novice riders/skaters still learning the basics. Pace of session is slow and some obstacles will be out of bounds

Amber - Both beginners and experienced riders/skaters can use this session. Pace is fast during busy times and beginners area reserved for novices.

Red - Session set aside for experienced riders/skaters. Beginners will only be granted admission to the designated beginners area.

Pop in and lock in
