The Dry Skate Project is a Community Interest Company, set up with the aim of creating and running an indoor skatepark in Colchester. Whilst also working on improving other facilities and changing perception of skateboarding & skateboarder's.

We believe that enabling skaters and all the wheeled sports to have access to an indoor facility all year round, will help to galvanise extreme sports in our area, and help make them viable sporting options (as apposed to a summer hobbies) where participants can practice and develop their skills to a high standard.

Further to the physical health benefits, mental health is something very important to us, one of our main aims is to provide a safe inclusive space where people can escape their reality and can chat to staff who have had the relevant mental health and safeguarding training.

We have set up a sister brand, 'DRY Skate Co' creating and selling small runs of quality products, made by skaters for skaters. Slow Fashion for fast people.

Some of the profits from this will go back into the skate community, and also help us deliver free coaching and events.
