A new skate park is to be a publicly funded provision for the island-wide urban sports community.

The overall project objectives are:

• To provide a modern, accessible and open facility that is an environment for the local urban sports community that the participants feel safe and supported within and enables progression to a high level.
• To promote urban sports as an important part of an active lifestyle that can improve health and wellbeing and provide an outlet for creativity.
• To challenge the stigma surrounding urban sports and educate on the overall societal benefits

In order to achieve the project objectives, the new skate park must satisfy the following requirements:

• Minimum 1000m2 useable area
• Easily accessible from St Helier
• Concrete construction
• Ancillary areas for crowds and spectators
• Nearby toilets, parking and food outlets

This survey is a Government-led comprehensive assessment of the possible locations for a new skate park with the objective of creating a high-quality facility that is proportionate to the current and future participation in urban sports.
