Poster for the consultation dates for the new skate park proposals. We need your views on the skate park design for Sea Road in Littlehampton!

Arun District Council and Littlehampton Town Council are working in partnership to upgrade the existing skate park.

We are holding three consultation sessions alongside skate park designer Maverick Industries Ltd, which has provided a concept design for the new concrete skate park.

Skate park users are invited to attend so that they can share their views on the design, and help us to shape how the upgraded park will look once up and running.

Councillor Paul Wotherspoon, Arun District Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Services, said: “It is important that we provide modern recreational facilities for young people that encourage them to enjoy all the wonderful outdoor spaces Arun has to offer. It’s also essential that we listen to the people who use the skate park in order that the facility meets their needs. Therefore we would like as many local skaters as possible to come along to our consultation events and have their say.”

Councillor Dr James Walsh, Chair of the Littlehampton Town Council’s Policy & Finance Committee, said: “Young people in Littlehampton have told us that having a more up to date and challenging skate park is what is needed, and we now wish to encourage them in the design of what will be a really good new facility, very near to the new Littlehampton Wave leisure centre. This is another great new attraction for Littlehampton with young people at its heart.”
