A lot smaller and not as smart as I had expected. Small cafe area. Noisy with the skateboarding but great place to drop the kids off for an hour. Staff were very pleasant and very helpfull. My grandson said he loved the skateboarding and would love to have a birthday party there.

Great find for my scooter mad 12 year old. We had been to ramp world so whilst staying the Gower we paid exist a visit.
Lovely people running it very friendly and didn't mind us satying the four hour session in their cafe drinking tea :).
£7.50 for 4 hours for a non member was excellent value we thought.
Lovely cafe with homemade food inc homemade chips! Great prices.
You can park outside but we trekked from car park ! Our fault
Good ramps nice atmosphere music playing.

Went down to have a roll around on my skateboard at Exist Skatepark and what a top night. Really friendly welcome, good skating and top cafe too. Home made flap jacks, sarsaparilla - what's not to like. I'm going again next week!

I went to the attraction to attend the birthday party of my eight year old grandson. There are notices all around stating that the visitors use the attraction at their own risk but nothing is done to try to minimise this risk. As can be seen from their photos, the skate ramps are of differing gradients but are sited side by side so it is very easy for the participant to fall from one steep ramp down a long step onto the next ramp. This may result in minor bruises or scrapes, but could easily result in life changing back injuries. There are odd rails situated about the site with no padding on them which could again result in serious injury.
On our visit, luckily, only one child was hurt receiving a nasty blow to the mouth. One of our party was a doctor who attended to the child and she thought the cut would probably not need stickers. While this doctor and the child’s mother worked on the cut, nobody from the centre even asked about the injury.
The kids mostly enjoyed the party but the proprietors must take their responsibility more seriously. I would strongly advise a body like the Council’s Environmental Health department, or the Health and Safety Executive to look closely at this facility and I really hope that the erection of notices saying, to all intents and purposes ‘nothing to do with us’ will not suffice.

My son loved this place. A brilliant place to learn skateboarding. All staff are so helpful and offer advice on products and give tips on how to improve for youngsters.
Plus they have the best chips ever! Great coffee too.

Whilst on holiday, I booked a Beginners Skateboarding 1 to 1 lesson for my 7 year old. The instructor Rob was brilliant and she really enjoyed the lesson. I was so impressed with the place - so wish we had an indoor skatepark like this near our home! Especially impressed by the innovative timetable which includes free entry for girls on the first Saturday of each month and a Vinyasa yoga session once a week. Just so exasperating to learn that this place is not in receipt of local Council funding!

Great for beginners and experienced people as you can challenge yourself. Took my 11 year old daughter who is a beginner and she thoroughly loved it.
If I was being fussy would have loved a decent coffee but appreciate that this is not the focus but can only ask!!
Will come back soon...

I have been taking my 2 lads to this place for several years. They started out in the intro sessions and now go every week they can. Without doubt, this is a 5* place, from the welcome you get at the door, to the coaches on hand to help beginners and push along more advanced skaters, the expertise that went into designing so much that works in a relatively small area, the atmosphere that is so inclusive across ages or girls and boys, the effort that goes into skate, art, music and charity events through the year, even to the little café that serves up tea and homemade chocolate flapjacks, proper chips, and Rob’s legendary homemade burgers and burritos. Ric and everyone involved really care for this project. And it shows. An independent gem.

Outstanding staff who couldn't have done more to help my two young girls. Non-intimidating atmosphere for novices and a nice space in which to enjoy a cuppa for adults. Definitely to be recommending a visit to Swansea.

What can i say? Such an amazing place to visit for many reasons: Firstly, the park is really well laid out, with a lot of thought gone into the design of the main area. The mini ramp, which has been there from the very start, is just right and great for learning tricks on. Everything is well maintained and clean.
The staff are knowledgable and helpful and go out of their way to assist customers.
