A new community skatepark for Margate
We are bringing new life to Ethelbert Crescent with a brand-new skatepark. Our goal is to create a safe space for young people that the whole town can be proud of.
What to expect from the new park:
- Free for everyone: The park will be completely free to use. It will be a welcoming community hub for skaters, friends, and families to spend time together.
- For all skill levels: Whether you are an absolute beginner or an expert skateboarder, the park is designed for you.
- Coaching and events: In the future, we hope to team up with local community groups and experts to offer skills coaching, workshops, and events.
