Ellon Wheel Park is a safe fun space for people of all abilities to come, play, make memorable moments, enjoy wheeled sports and have a fantastic experience. We don't want to stifle creative sports and ruin the experience but it does have to be safe for everyone.
​
Daubing graffiti, leaving litter and deliberately being anti-social towards members of the public occupying the same space as you is the quickest way to get the park shut down and ruin the fun for everyone. Take your litter home, treat the public with respect and don’t tag your spots up. The reputation of cycling and skateboarding as a whole gets tarnished by this kind of behaviour, so use your brains.
