BYC Skatepark is Brighton’s only indoor skate facility. The park is for skateboarding only, and is open to people of all ages and abilities.

The park features obstacles of varied sizes and difficulty to suit all levels. Skateboards and protective equipment are always available to use for free for those without their own!

Our popular tuition courses run throughout the year and have helped hundreds of children and adults to start skateboarding.

BYC Rebuild – Latest News

Last Updated: 19/12/24

rebuild process — The progress of the new half of the building being constructed as of December 2024.

We are now roughly halfway through the rebuild of BYC, currently due to be completed in September 2025.

This multi-million pound regeneration will provide a huge update on what we had before.

The west side of the building is being demolished and replaced, with the entrance being moved onto the corner of Edward Street and an outdoor space created at the back, while the rest is being upgraded and refitted on the inside.

This will create a fully accessible youth centre with upgrades to all our existing facilities as well as new additions such as a cafe space, and counselling and GP rooms. On the top floor you can see the extension to the skatepark which will provide a larger seating area overlooking the city, toilets and extra amenities.

Our office and some of our youth activities have moved to 94 Gloucester Road. This is a smaller space and so we’re not able to offer as much as we’re used to but we’re slowly building our youth programme back up and welcome regular young members of BYC to join in. Call, email or contact Brighton Youth Centre on Instagram if you want info on what’s going on currently.

We’re extremely grateful to everyone who visits the centre over the years, and are sorry for the disruption. This work is essential to securing BYC’s long term future and allowing us to continue providing these services to young people in Brighton. We will of course keep you updated with any and all progress as we go through this change. Until then, if you didn’t hear it from us then feel free to ignore whatever it is.
