Launched in 2003, and based just outside Braintree town centre, Braintree skatepark is suitable for both Skate boarders and BMX bikers alike and can be used free of charge. It houses the following facilities: a driveway with rail and a jumpbox side by side, two quarter pipes with a flatbank in the middle, a double rail and grind box, and a spine run. It is based in Weavers Park which has plenty of seating. Weavers Park itself often houses various events including concerts, the Braintree youth festival and book auctions.
