Irish heads stand up! Touchwood Indoor Skatepark in Cork will be opening tomorrow on Friday 10th September.
So if you’re over 18 (we understand there’s to be as much messy partying as there is skating on the night so it’s an over 18 event only) then head on down to 36 Patrick’s Quay, Cork and raise a drink to Nicky O’Keefe and Mike Keane who have worked hard to provide Cork with a quality indoor skatepark.
