Kennington Skateboarding Bowl

|
The Kennington Skateboarding Bowl is a skateboarding facility situated nest to the northernmost entrance to Kennington Park, in South London. The bowl was erected in 1978 on the site of some derelict netball courts. The bowl was originally made with no coping and and no vertical sections. Instead it is modelled on Californian school yard banks. It is a similar design to the Meanwhile Two in Royal Oak (North London) except Kennington's bowl has two panels of flat bottom (arguably making it easier to skate) and no Gonz gap. Kennington Bowl is currently in a state of partial disrepair with many of the panels having become misaligned creating certain areas that are difficult to roll over. In the early part of the noughties a local skater made and installed a section of swimming pool styled coping of about 2 metres in length. The bowl enojoys a muted popularity with small numbers of generally older skateboarders frequenting it irregularly, usually during the weekends. See Also
