A refurbished skate park with a new surface, railings, and adding a new grind rail has opened in Jubilee Park, Bedford.
A spokesperson for Bedford Borough Council has said the improvements will “significantly enhance the user experience for skaters of all ages and abilities.
The project, which was funded by S106 contributions, was carried out by Evolution Skateparks Ltd.
Vanessa, founder of Youth Voices Connect, an organisation that amplifies the voices of young people, said, “The skatepark is not just a recreational space, it represents a turning point in making young people feel included and valued within their own community.
“The skatepark’s completion opens the door for further collaboration and inclusive opportunities for local young people.”
“The new surface provides better grip and durability, while the additional features offer new opportunities for challenging and exciting skating.
Cllr Sarah Gallagher, (Conservative/Eastcotts) Portfolio Holder for Customer Experience, Leisure and Culture, added, “We are thrilled to see the completion of this project.
“The Jubilee Park Skatepark is a valuable asset to our community, and these upgrades will undoubtedly benefit local residents and visitors alike. The improved facilities will encourage more people to get active and enjoy the outdoors.”
