A brand new skatepark built for Eastbourne Borough Council at Hampden Park in Eastbourne, Sussex has been completed and opened by CANVAS Spaces this week.
Locals chipped in to assist with the design they wanted and came up with a 4.5’ deep bowl with 6’ corners and a perfect hip and long lips. The rest of the park has long lines via several levels with ledges and rails which can be hit up and down banks. There’s also a couple of lumps in there offering some nice pop out lines into the new banks.
The new spot is currently awaiting a footpath next week. This is due to being built within parkland and time is needed for the grass to regrow, so therefore we are advising extra caution for its first few weeks of use until the surround has had a chance to retake.
Look out for details of an official opening jam soon once weather conditions look better.
Address: Hampden Park, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN22 9QR. Map here.
