Bourne Valley Skatepark in Poole was built by Maverick skateparks in 2016. It is of sprayed concrete construction and is located in Bourne Valley Park in Rossmore, in the borough of Poole. The design is modern and quite transition heavy, with an open ended bowl which leads into a ‘street’ course with plenty of quarterpipes, jump boxes, and transition hips. The skatepark is great for carving as such. There are a few street features in the mix but it appears a lot of consideration has been given over to BMX riders.
