A new skatepark for Bradford on Avon
Idris, his sister Wren and group of friends came to Bradford on Avon Town Council to ask for a new skatepark after the old metal ramps were taken away and not replaced...
BoA is a beautiful town to live in – a thriving community full of heritage, beautiful buildings and wildlife. But with very few facilities for the young people of the town, once they grow out of swings and roundabouts, we would love to replace the unloved and ancient metal skatepark that was demolished more than 5 years ago.
With the help of BoA Town Council and a whole bunch of volunteers, we're raising money to get the new skatepark built.
We see skating as an important part of recovery after the effects of the pandemics and multiple lockdowns. The physical, mental and community benefits of skating are becoming well documented, with research showing a striking correlation between people who skateboard and improved mental health.
Maverick have been chosen to design and build, the council have promised £100k, but now we need to raise at least another £150k from grants and donations.
Please help with any amount to add to our fund, so we can make a new skatepark for Bradford on Avon a reality and get the town skating!
