New skate park for Stratford Town

Stratford-on-Avon District Council together with Stratford Town Trust has jointly funded a new skate park for Stratford-upon-Avon.

On Thursday 18 June skate park users are being invited to a meeting at 6pm at the site of the current skate park at Stratford Leisure Centre to talk with the skate park designer and District Council officers.  The meeting is to give skate park users a say about what new skating equipment will form the new design and layout; it is their chance to have a say about the whole skate park experience .

The young people have already been involved from the start as in the early stages of this project consultation with the young people identified concrete as their preferred skating surface and Bendcrete Skateparks, specialists in the design and build of bespoke concrete skateparks, has been awarded the contract.

The new mini-ramps are currently being constructed and delivery is anticipated for early August just in time for the annual skate park competition.

Stratford Skate Park is the biggest free skate park in the West Midlands and has a reputation amongst users for providing a challenging skating experience.

Come along and have your say!
