Building a new Skatepark...

(1/4) > >>

macky:

This is just an idea a couple of us were talking about,  not gone any further with it other than a few chats...   


I know getting a skatepark project up and running is a very difficult thing, not to mention costly....

and apart from getting enough funding, finding a suitable location... and applying for planning permission...

then having a warehouse built...  then actually building the park... insuring the park... advertising an all that...

Plus the months/ years of begging letter's to get the thing started up in the first place!!


I dont want this to just be a pipe dream...  :-\

has anyone else had to go through all this to start their own park?

and could anyone give me any advice if we were to go ahead with this??

wot you reckon ???


Cheer's!!  :daumenhoch:


( I have a feeling the costs will will flatten this idea before it could ever become a reality! )  :(

evamedia:
Dave, to be honest I think the best way to do this is to do what twobobrob has done, get a group of riders, rent somewhere and build your own ramps, just for you. You don't have to worry about insurance (I assume). Without external funding skateparks don't make money, look after yourselves.

macky:

yeah... i am thinking this would be a bit much to get goin!!  :(

I just don't think i can let it go though.... i mean it was just talk like but...

i think i'd rather try my best and fail rather than never giving it a go...  :-\


Your probably right though...

I'll have to write/ email the local council prehaps??

jedi:
i was thinking about it too.

Bushwacked:
Its something I've been wondering about as well since there are no decent skateparks within a 50 mile radius of Cheltenham (unless that is where you are thinking of putting one - if so I'll help build!!!)
