A movement to secure funding to build the first indoor skatepark in London is underway, headed by AnnMarie Lawless. The City’s skate scene has always craved a fully indoor, world-class facility and with semi-indoor options such as BaySixty6, Southbank and Meanwhile on offer, London’s skateboarders know that expensive land rates have always been an issue for those who have dreams of building one.
Let’s hope that this is the first wave of something that takes off and we see more structure behind this story in the Islington Tribune. We will back anyone out there willing to make it work.
Sometimes you have to push the boat out to get what you want, and that’s exactly what a crew of East Lothian skaters did in October to raise money for a new skatepark. With Livingston’s bowl 30 miles away, a bunch of fund raisers got together for a charity skate and managed to drum up £25,000 of cash towards a new park after skating constantly for 53 hours. Teams of three operated in shifts of 3 hours to make this work. Get out there and do it for your local scene.
Thanks to Mark Burrows for highlighting this.
