Project summaryMeasham skatepark completed 3

Measham skatepark has been successfully completed with the grand opening was Saturday 26 September 2015. 

The DE12 SK8 group along with Maverick (who were contracted to build the skatepark) welcomed the crowds of people at the grand opening of the skatepark. 

The project was start in 2005 following a consultation with the community of Measham which highlighted the need for a skatepark as a lack of youth facilities and ASB were both identified as major issues.

The DE12 SK8 group aim to develop a safe and innovative skatepark facility providing free and open access for people from all backgrounds, levels and abilities, is almost a reality.

This facility is a community initiative designed to promote healthy and active life styles to the local and wider communities.

So... after almost five years of hard work the dream has been made a reality.
