Halton Skate Park Open

The new skatepark at The Centre@Halton is now open, much to the delight of local kids and teenagers. Fergal and his friends think it is awesome. The Halton Community Centre has been very successful in obtaining grants for both a new playground, new skatepark and significant refurbishment of the building itself. The Centre is only a few hundred metres up the road from our site.

At our last General Meeting held at The Centre, there were literally queues forming around the skate park with kids wanting to use their BMX, scooter or skateboards. I am in awe of some of the tricks I saw - not for the faint hearted!

The playground is also progressing well - new equipment appears every time I visit the site. There is nothing of this size or quality in Lancaster, so kids of Halton are very lucky.
