Building a new Skatepark...

<< < (2/4) > >>

macky:

I think this is something possibly nearly every Rad member has pondered!!

I was thinking the Northwest area ( liverpool mainly ) for a park...

The liverpool council have announced plans to build an outdoor park apparently...

so im not sure i could get them to fund an indoor park?? 


There has to be a lot of buisness men on Rad who would know how to go about this... 

wot would i have to do??

There's no reason why a consortium of people couldn't own and run a private skatepark. No reason at all.

Apart from one;

a consortium of people have to be involved!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, the privately owned, run for profit parks are going to be pretty much a thing of the past soon thanks to cost and the influx of council owned outdoor concrete parks that ain't going anywhere for at least another 20 years.


If anyone out there is truly, truly serious about having a crack at a park for themselves, PM me with your ideas and we can bang heads for a bit   :)

Mount hawke skate park was built with funding from the lottery and the sports council. So it is possible but i think you have to register as a charity and not a commercial venture.
