Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a nice little skate park for you to go to with your friends and in a save and inclosed area family friendly well worth going for a day out or even just for 1-2 hours.

If I could give a zero I would. The blonde girl (supervisor) is the rudest person I’ve ever met. EVERYTIME I’ve been in, there’s been an issue with her being rude and snappy towards people. Ruins the whole vibe of the place when all the other staff are so lovely. It’s a shame, I literally resent bringing my daughter here incase she’s in. Not the only person to say this either!!!

I go to Projekts for their roller skating day (quads, not inline) basically every Monday. The venue itself is really good and clean and I love how they also help out with skate maintenance. However, if you are an adult new to skating (like me) and want to go there to receive coaching it’s really not well organised as there are only 2 quad coaches and their time gets taken up by the children (and the parents who hang about the skatepark very much in the way).
As you barely get any coaching, I believe £10 just to use the facility is way too high considering there are roller skating groups that offer spaces for £4 (no coaching but easier to get peer support than at Projekts). As a new skater, not having structured learning can be very daunting (and frankly boring) to be at this skate park as you really don’t know what to do or even get to meet many of the skaters as there’s no introductions done at the start and everyone ends up doing their own thing separately.
The quad coaches are lovely but I believe they get little to no guidance from management on how they should lead classes/coaching for adult beginners. Management seem to ask coaches to place more importance on teaching the children, in which case I would suggest you have a day just for children as us beginners are in their way as much as they are in ours.
I would happily pay the tenner if it was a well structured class. I believe this could be achieved by firstly using the middle section for the coaches to gather anyone who is beginner in order to introduce themselves to the group (like what the skateboard coaches do on women’s skateboarding day) and to do a briefing on what will be taught in each section of the park. I would also suggest dividing the skatepark into learning sections, by level and type of skate (back left for experienced skaters/inlines that need little to no coaching and middle and right sections for coaching and beginners to do drills instructed and overseen by the coaches).
This lack of structure has now put off two of my friends from going to Projekts (and from taking up skating altogether which is annoying and sad) as it is really not a welcoming space at all for adult beginners and very expensive to just hang around waiting.
As for the little coaching I have received, I still believe it’s not well structured and it doesn’t follow a clear learning path. Coaches are experienced skaters but not teachers per se. Now, this does not mean they are not absolutely lovely I just believe if you as a venue are going to claim “all quad levels welcomed, coaching provided” then you should invest in giving your coaches teacher training for them to have the skills to coach beginner adults and for you to charge a tenner.

My son comes to lessons here after being part of the skateboard club after school. David who coaches him at school is absolutely lovely. My son really likes him and all the other coaches at the park. They are so warm, welcoming and encouraging. We are always made to feel welcome. My son really looks forward to the sessions.

Brought my 9 year old daughter for a private lesson, which I joined in, with Elsie. We both loved it. Got there early really approachable staff. Elsie was fantastic she put us both, particularly me, at ease. My daughter loved it and we have booked to come back for one of the group sessions, highly recommended!

We came to Manchester for the weekend and after Skiing the day prior at Chill Factore, needed
Something for our 8 year old to do. We had planned to go to the museum of science and industry but hadn’t realised you needed to book and due to it being school holidays there were no tickets left. I called the skatepark hoping they had something available. They told me there was only a ‘home ed’ session on (which is a brilliant idea in itself) but as they were not at their numbers and it was only for the day they allowed my child to join. It took us a while to find but one we got there it did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and attentive from the people teaching my son to skateboard to the lovely lady serving a delicious latte. They had a great choice of food in their cafe with vegan options and these were being prepped on site. My son had an amazing time, the set up is brilliant and the atmosphere is relaxed they taught him the basics and were very patient with him. We would definitely book another visit for the next time we are down that way

Took my brother (12) to a private skateboarding lesson, with Olly. My brother had an awesome time and wants to come back asap!
Really friendly and approachable staff, lovely well stocked Cafe and large viewing area upstairs to watch.
I think I'll try it next time too!

I know it's mostly under the flyover but does it stay dry in the rain? Thinking about travelling up next time it's wet where I am during the day as there don't appear to be alot of skateparks open when the kids are in school
