Weekly Thursday morning skating session for children under five at Pitt Street Skatepark, with parents skating alongside them.
Roller Tots is back at Pitt St. Skatepark on Thursday 29 October, part of a run of morning sessions for the under-fives. It's a weekly slot from 11:00 to 12:45, and this one falls in the middle of a longer stretch that started on 22 October and keeps going through 5, 12, 19 and 26 November. If you're taking a toddler, it's a safe and friendly way for them to get a taste of skating and build up their balance and coordination while you skate alongside them.
Pitt St. Skatepark is Portsmouth's indoor playground for all things wheeled, housed in a transformed former Sainsbury's. It's packed with ramps, rails and flatland for skateboards, scooters, BMX, quads and blades, so it's not just for one type of wheel. The whole place is run as a Community Interest Company by members of the local skate community, who also run the on-site Pitt St. Kitchen café and bar. It's a community-led spot, and that comes through in how it's put together.
Beyond the under-fives, there's plenty else going on here. On Fridays, the park runs Home Ed sessions for home-educated children, and The Academy of Wheels is a structured coaching programme covering skateboarding, roller skating, inline skating and BMX with qualified, DBS-checked coaches. The sessions are sponsored by Micro Scooters.
