01 The idea
Improve the skatepark
and add new sections.
We want the council to improve the current skatepark and add new sections. The aim is to make Southfields a leading public skatepark in the East Midlands.
Ideas for new sections
Beginner area
Space to learn, away from faster riders.
Street section
Ledges, rails and stairs to ride.
Bowl
Smooth curved walls for carving.
Ideas only. The final design would be decided with local skaters, scooter riders and BMXers.
