The Loading Bay Glasgow
The Loading Bay suits children who already want to skate, scoot, ride BMX or try parkour. It is indoors, so rain will not change the plan. Children must be at least six, and under-16s need a waiver and helmet.

Our family take
Children have room to practise scooters, skateboards, BMX or parkour indoors. Beginners can hire equipment or book coaching instead of bringing everything with them.
- Weekend parkour plans. The trampoline and parkour room is closed to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 2pm.

Make it work for your family
Who should choose it
Choose it for a child who is excited by a particular wheeled sport or parkour. A nervous beginner may get more from a coached lesson than an open session.
This is not a toddler play session: children under six cannot use the facility. A three-hour session should be enough for most first visits. Choose all-day entry only for a child who knows they will use it.
Ages, waivers and helmets
Create an account before using the facility. A parent or guardian must complete it and sign the waiver for under-16s. Helmets are mandatory for under-16s; bring one or hire one.
The venue prefers a parent or guardian to stay with under-12s. Ages 12–15 may visit alone after their first accompanied visit, with a completed consent form on their account. Check with the venue before arranging a drop-off for a younger child.
Prices and equipment hire
Open sessions currently cost £10 for three hours or £15 all day, and you can pay at reception. Lessons, camps and parties need advance booking. If anyone will watch rather than take part, ask the venue what your family will pay before setting off.
Hire costs £5 for a skateboard, £7.50 for a scooter, £10 for a BMX and £2 for a helmet. Add the equipment your child needs to the entry price. Pads are available in limited numbers, so bring your own if you want to use them.
Opening hours and parkour access
The skatepark opens daily from 10am to 10pm in October–March and 10am to 8pm in April–September. Check the current schedule before travelling.
The trampoline and parkour room is closed to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 2pm. If that room is the main reason for your visit, plan around the closure.
Food and access
The café serves sandwiches, soup and coffee, with hot food from 11am to 7pm and snacks and drinks from 10am to 8pm. Its service ends before the skatepark closes in winter.
If you need step-free access, space for a buggy, an accessible toilet or baby changing, check the arrangements with the venue before travelling.
