Local People: Meet Tim and Andre the founders and directors of Campus Skateboarding.

In the heart of Bishopsworth, they have created a not-for-profit organisation that uses the positive energy and influence of skateboarding to engage with children and young people. In 2015 what was previously Bishopsworth swimming pool became the Campus Skate Pool. It's a purpose-built indoor concrete skatepark. They offer a wide range of sessions for different age groups, abilities and disciplines available. Daily/weekly sessions include Toddler Takeover, Junior Mash Up, Skateboards only, Family Skate, Beginners only & Girls only plus for those completely new to Skating, Campus offers tuition sessions.
