A THIRD community engagement event regarding a new skatepark in Llandudno Junction will take place next week.

The Victoria Skatepark Project group will look to change the existing skatepark, in Victoria Park, into a state-of-the-art concrete skatepark designed to serve the entire community.

It has been awarded £30,000 from the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund, via Conwy County Borough Council, to put towards its efforts.

On September 26 at 5pm, a community engagement event at Llandudno Junction Leisure Centre will discuss three potential designs for the new skatepark.

Curve Studios Ltd is running these events on the group’s behalf.

Dave Jones, a county councillor for the Glyn-y-Marl ward, is secretary of the group, and said: “The aim is to identify the need to replace the old skatepark in Victoria Park. 

“We hope that, at the end of this meeting, we will have a good idea of what our final vision for the wheel sports venue will look like.”

The plan, Cllr Jones, said, is to turn it into a “state-of-the-art concrete bowl wheel sports venue for skateboarders and BMX and scooter riders”.

An online survey has also been set up, which you can visit at: www.surveymonkey.com/r/7MYH6Q7.

The Victoria Skatepark Project group's committee is a mixture of councillors, skateboarders, scooter enthusiasts, and parents.

It is a constituted group looking for grants to carry out this development, and its aim is to look at charitable status and take out a lease on the skatepark.
