About Pitt Street

The Undercover Skatepark Project was born from the passion of Jacob and Jenna Skinner, who are dedicated to bringing people together to enjoy various forms of wheeled sports in an indoor setting. Conceived in 2018, this community-based initiative has gained significant momentum within the skateboarding community and beyond. With strong support from organisations such as Portsmouth City Council, the project has come to life.

Our team has tirelessly worked to build a state-of-the-art indoor wheeled sports facility that can be enjoyed all year round, regardless of the weather. We leased a vacated Sainsbury’s supermarket in the heart of Portsmouth and transformed it into a premier indoor skatepark. Located in the Charles Dickens ward, one of the UK’s most disadvantaged areas, our facility aims to make a positive impact on the local community.

The Undercover Skatepark Project (USP) has been established as a Community Interest Company (CIC), dedicated to serving the local community. Our new facility, named Pitt St. Skatepark, opened its doors to the public on Saturday, 10th December 2022. This generous skatepark and multi-purpose rink operate six days a week, providing a dynamic space for various wheeled sports. Alongside the skating facilities, we have Pitt St. Kitchen, a vibrant café and bar where visitors can relax and refuel.

In 2023, we are expanding our offerings with the launch of Pitt St. Academy, a comprehensive coaching programme open to all ages. Initially focusing on skateboarding and inline skating, we plan to include scooters and BMX coaching in the future. Birthday parties and celebrations will also be a central part of our events schedule, creating memorable experiences for the community. At Pitt St, we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment
