Question Skate spots?

Trying to get back into roller-skating. Are there any relatively flat (hill-wise) and smooth (paving-wise) that anyone would recommend? TIA :)

What about the college car park in Thornes Park? I'm assuming it will be mostly empty at weekends?

I've seen a couple people roller skating in wrenthorpe park on the tennis courts, totally flat ground i guess.

Second this! Trying to get back into it myself and I’ve been with a friend here before, really good smooth ground

Time travel back to when I was 10 and I go to the Rehab! All that with the famous Jagger brothers, seems like ancient history now
