ABOUT F51

Funded by The Roger De Haan Charitable Trust and run by local sports charity, The Sports Trust, Folkestone 51 is the world’s first purpose built multi-storey skatepark. Only a 54 minute train journey from London St Pancras, it is home to the largest lead climbing wall in the South East while also featuring bouldering facilities and a boxing gym. With three floors dedicated to skateboarding, including two world class suspended concrete bowls, F51 has turned heads both nationally and internationally. Equipped with our friendly team of coaches, our venue is for everyone, no matter where your level of skill or confidence is. 

F51’s design, location and conception aims to revolutionise the way we look at town/city spaces and how we can incorporate more facilities for sport and young people within town centres that may already feel cramped and populated. F51 seeks to put skaters, BMXers and climbers at the forefront of Folkestone, celebrating existing talent and encouraging new beginners to get involved through a range of lessons and inclusive sessions to ensure that there is something for everyone. 

Run by local registered charity; The Sports Trust, F51 aims to provide young people with opportunity through sport. You can read more about the charity behind F51 here.
