Build Starts on New Skatepark Site
January 8th, 2016Construction work finally begun on Wednesday (6th January 2016) on the new Skatepark for Bradley Stoke. Councillors, Officers and Local Young People met on-site to mark the occasion.
Mayor Councillor Roger Avenin commented, ‘I am pleased to have officially started the construction of the New Skatepark Development for Bradley Stoke. The former park has proven itself to be a significant asset to the Town over the years. However, the current park has now met the end of its useable life and needs to be replaced.
‘Building on the success of the existing park, we have taken the opportunity to reach out to the community to understand how best to replace and rejuvenate the park. The new Skatepark will be a modern state of the art amenity which will serve the community for many years to come.’
Bradley Stoke Matters popped along this morning to see the work underway for the new skatepark after two days of blue-ish sky and some sunshine to help!
After fine tuning of the plans, the design team from Wheelscape Skateparks told us they “are now happy to be on site and starting the works”.
Bradley Stoke riders will be pleased to be using a local park termed “the best one of its kind” within 12 weeks.
