New skateboard facility in Dinas Powys is open for use
The Vale of Glamorgan's Parks Division is pleased to announce
the completion of a new skateboard facility at Parc Bryn Y Don in
Dinas Powys.
This long-awaited project, estimated at £150,000, was designed,
constructed and completed for £125,000 and is proving to be
extremely popular with the local community.
The park's opening is a great example of the Vale Council
working to deliver facilities in consultation with the
community.
Phil Beaman, Operational Manager for Parks and Grounds
Maintenance, said:
“Projects of this kind, managed by our colleagues in the
Landscape Section, are extremely rewarding. Working with the local
community and partners such the Youth Service and the Police
brought great benefits for this successful project.
"The facility is a state-of-the-art skating arena that can be
used by boards, bikes and blades. The consultation with the users
and designers of the equipment has developed a flexible feature
that includes a number of different ramps that in the future can be
rearranged if necessary.
"Floodlighting is also provided to allow the site to be used
until 9pm in the darker nights. To make sure the users are safe,
the ramps are in a clearly visible position. The Parks Division
will manage the facility, which is the eighth in the Vale of
Glamorgan."
