Summary

A new skate park is to be a publicly funded provision for the island-wide urban sports community.

The overall project objectives are:

  • To provide a modern, accessible and open facility that is an environment for the local urban sports community that the participants feel safe and supported within and enables progression to a high level.
  • To promote urban sports as an important part of an active lifestyle that can improve health and wellbeing and provide an outlet for creativity.
  • To challenge the stigma surrounding urban sports and educate on the overall societal benefits

In order to achieve the project objectives, the new skate park must satisfy the following requirements:

  • Minimum 1000m2 useable area
  • Easily accessible from St Helier
  • Concrete construction
  • Ancillary areas for crowds and spectators
  • Nearby toilets, parking and food outlets

This survey is a Government-led comprehensive assessment of the possible locations for a new skate park with the objective of creating a high-quality facility that is proportionate to the current and future participation in urban sports.
