Skegness Teenagers

The Skegness Sunshine Kiddies Play area can be found to the side of the Pier Field on the Skegness waterway

The Sunshine play area is a new play ground for kids aged 3-14 years old, it’s bright colourful and a lovely modern park for the kids to let off some steam, it is the best free play ground in Skegness

The Sunshine play area has a range of play equipment for the little ones there’s: Animal Rockers, Climbing Box and little Slide, games and the Cargo Net Swing.

For older kids there is: Bungee Swing, Climbing Tower and Slide, Zip Line and a Cargo Net Swing.

There has been some vandalism on the park with broken glass and the play equipment being damaged. The glass is cleared up quiet quickly by the Skegness Town Council each morning, but there has been complaints by holiday makers about teenagers using the park irresponsibly and making them feel intimidated by their presence.

Despite the bad behaviour of some teenagers in Skegness vandalizing the Skegness Sunshine play area, the Skegness Town Council have given the go ahead for the Sunshine Play Area to be expanded with play equipment designed for teens.

The new play equipment will be a little further down from the Skegness Sunshine Play Area, so in effect there will be two parks on the Skegness Waterway.

It’s hoped that the teens will stop vandalizing the kiddies equipment if they have equipment of there own to let off steam.

Older Kids in Skegness where consulted and the Sky Carver was at the top of there list, other play equipment for the teens Sunshine play area will be a metro high rotator and metro access spring.

It’s going to cost the council £18,000 to improve the Skegness Sunshine play area

This will be good for the town.

A lot of teenagers and that would include me twenty odd years ago complain they have nothing to do, so I’m starting a section drawing attention to Skegness activities and attractions aimed at teenagers.

I’m open to what might be considered a teenage activity, Bottons Pleasure Beach for example is a family attraction, but I think also falls under aimed at teens as well.

So if you organise an event or attraction in Skegness that is teen friendly please post a comment below. If you provide enough information I’ll try to turn it into a stand alone page and link to it from below. More information you supply the better.

Admission Prices:
£12.00 for a full day wrist band.
£8.00 for an evening wrist band.
Or you can buy tokens a pound each.

My kids have dragged me to Bottons Pleasure Beach many times, we go at least 3 times a year, and it’s always a fun filled evening for them and me, which lets face it as parent it’s always a bonus since we usually get left out of the fun drinking tea/coffee as slooowwwly as possible!, while the kids run off and have a blast.

Skegness Bottons Pleasure Beach is a traditional fun fair, it doesn’t have any of the big rides like roller coasters, (it’s not an Alton Towers sized attraction) but it does still have enough for the thrill seekers with the pirate ship and the surf rider in particular and if your up for a good spin every ones all time favorite the waltzer.

Opening hours, prices etc… for LaserQuest are at the bottom of this page.

As a family (Mum, Dad and two sons) we’ve been to LaserQuest at Skegness Pier just once, this is because I (Dad) have a bad back (just had an operation to fuse a couple of discs as it happens) so regular Laser Quest games for the entire family wasn’t an option

If it was, I’d go to LaserQuest at least once a fortnight, as a Dad with two teenage (almost teenage for the youngest) sons, the idea of running around with a gun shooting my kids is VERY appealing

When we went as a family I was only able to play one game (back hurt too much), but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I forget who won (LOL), but we all went home checking our LaserQuest game score printout to see who’d done what and making excuses as to why we’d got shot so many times in the back!
