World Class Skatepark
Covering Sheringham, the Runtons, Holt and surrounding villages in association with the Cromer Times and North Walsham Times
Chairman of the Sheringham Skatepark Club, Rob Sayles was delighted to be hosting the opening of the new world-class skatepark in Sheringham, reports Eric Hayton. It has taken more than 10 years and £150,000 to have the new facility built, but it looks well worth the time and money. Free to use for all, the skatepark is located in front of Splash Leisure and Fitness Centre on the Strip and replaces the old wooden facility, which basically fell apart seven or eight years ago. But the new facility is also a world class state-of-the-art skatepark, which allow in the fullness of time serious competitors from all over the UK and Europe to compete. It also features the unique concrete Ship, which Rob told me is not just a fancy centrepiece, but is 'skateable'. Not just for skateboarders, children and adults will also be able to ride BMX bikes, blades and scooters around the course. This will be an excellent location for local youngsters to enjoy themselves and socialise. Rob said, " There are not many sports where you get an 18-year-old looking after a six-year-old.”
As well as Rob, present at the opening were Trevor Ivory, NNDC cabinet member, Sheringham mayor Cllr Doug Smith and Marya Parker. The NNDC has contributed £30,000 from the council's Big Society Fund,
