👍👍 Amazing place!!!! Been the last 3 weekends in a row! My 2 boys love it, as it’s in doors it will be great in the winter months to get them out and off their PCs. Staff are great and about watching, 3 floors to keep them happy for the 2 hours for £9 which is a steal, so happy they built this. Even se... People often mention great,

    Sadly this park was all hype but not that great for me. The idea of a 3 floor skatepark is a skaters dream, but the layout of the street course is very questionable in design. I found it rather awkward to hit certain ramps due to how steep they were and how short in length. The flow park upstairs is great in design but it's tricky to skate with scooter kids dropping in blinded without care of other riders. This isn't the parks fault, but just the design of the layout. The bowls down stairs are fun, rather scary in height but that added to the thrill of learning. I'm a street skater so I was out of my element but still had a blast. I found it bad to have to pay for parking on top of the use of the skatepark. This added on top of the already high cost of travel, entrance etc, it made me feel it's not worth a return visit.

    Bowl: Amazing Flow room: amazing Street room: huge disappointment. There’s too much crammed in and every obstacle has unusual dimensions that are out of proportion to one another. Nothing connects well enough to flow. I’m a street skater, so I won’t be visiting again with the current layout.

    An amazing place to go. If you're a skater, BMX rider, scooter rider or a climber, I cannot recommend F51 enough! The skatepark has a mellow vibe. Combine this with the three levels of various skatepark layouts, and you will be able to find something to inspire you. The staff are helpful and friendly, and the café serves excellent coffee. A word of warning, parking is very limited, so be prepared to park nearby and walk to the park.

    Been bouldering here regularly for 7 or 8 months. Absolutely love it. I’ve never had the chance to climb elsewhere before or since, so I have no frame of reference. But they pack a lot in to a small space, with a wide range of difficulties, and since I can only get there once a week at most, i usually find at least a couple newly set boulder problems, so there’s no shortage of fun challenges. They have some great staff who have helped me progress quickly, as have a few of the other regulars. Everyone is very friendly and helpful once you make an effort to engage a bit. Other newbies rest assured, the vibe is chilled, the 10-session punch cards are a flexible way to get decent value, and you don’t need to book ahead because it’s usually quiet. Far too quiet, but let’s not dwell on that. It deserves to be busy.

    Took my 6 year old son for a 1:1 skate boarding lesson. It was his first time on a board and he loved it so much that we went the following day! The coaches are amazing, very patient but also encouraging. We will definitely be going again when we’re next in Folkestone. I would 100% recommend it!

    Couldn't get into the car park as the barrier wouldn't open for my wife or I. So went in to get the guy, who I think is a local musician who was very friendly. Then it was upstairs for the climbing which tbh was a bit disappointing given the size of the building. No top outs for instance which I like. This is good for beginners I would suggest. We also spent about ten mins watching a video and being quizzed by the manager who certainly takes her role very seriously. As for the skatepark, every floor looks the same but am no expert on these things! Worth a visit and is certainly a positive addition to the folkestone entertainment scene.

    Took our youngest to the Night Climbing Event this weekend. He had a great time, great to see F51 putting on something different. Thanks to the staff who were super friendly and helpful.
