Locals in Stamford have started a project to build a new skatepark in the town, the previous ramps were taken down in May ‘08 because they had reached the end of their shelf life and the town is currently without any form of skate facility.

The project aims to raise £200k to build a new world class concrete skatepark, they’ve already raised over £50k after a year of fundraising and need your support to help reach their goal. If you live in Stamford or in a nearby town or village show your support by heading down to one of the meetings – the next of which will be held on Wed 27th Jan @ Mama Liz’s bar on North St, Stamford.

Head over to the Stamford Skatepark website for all the latest news and updates and check out some of the proposals for the skatepark below.

Work has begun on Tamworth’s new skatepark after two years of hard work campaigning to get a new park in the town. The project began in January 2007 with Tamworth Wheeled Sports Club spearheading the campaign.

The current skate park in River Drive has problems with flooding after heavy rain and a new location was found away from the river at Castle Pleasure Grounds. The skate park has been made possible by financial contributions from Tamworth Borough Council and the Youth Capital Fund.

This was followed by a cash injection of £50,000 from the Youth Capital Fund. Work on the skate park will take around two months to complete.

A new skatepark has been announced in Banbury, Oxfordshire at Princess Diana Park. There is currently two proposals for the plans for the skatepark both can be viewed at the Sunshine center on Edmunds road for anyone who wants to check them out and add your comments. They are due to start building in June 2010.
