Following its opening on Saturday (21st) October, skaters this week have been encouraged to try out Filey’s newly accessible skate park.
The flood-lit park caters for skateboard users, BMX, scooters and wheelchair motocross users.
The park has been funded with £326,000 from North Yorkshire Council, £28,000 from Filey Town Council and £8,500 from the Office of the North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.
Free skateboarding lessons and contests marked the opening of the park.
Councillor Keane Duncan said the park would ‘provide a space where young people can thrive, express themselves and build lasting friendships.’
The park has been designed and constructed by Canvas Spaces Ltd which specialises in the installation of concrete skateparks.
