It was extremely pleasing to see the skatepark being used by young and old, from users who have only just started using the skatepark since it opened in the summer, to experienced users who had used the previous skatepark some seventeen years ago and how everyone joined in together, supporting and encouraging each other, cultivating a real sense of community.
None of this would have been possible without Southwater Parish Council, Southwater Community Partnership and Southwater Youth Project. A huge team effort and many thanks to all involved.
