A NEW skatepark has opened in Haywards Heath.
The facility in Victoria Park has been designed by Maverick Industries, a skater-run business that has installed some of the best skateparks in the UK.
It has been made of concrete to ensure users have a fast and perfectly smooth ride with plenty of flow lines to choose from.
The new skatepark design features a mix of ramp and street elements, designed to flow effortlessly together yet also function as three distinct ‘zones’.
At the entrance is an open-plan ‘street’ area featuring a hipped bank with inset grind ledge.
The central zone has a 6ft roll-in, leading to a unique, hipped box-jump, and a six feet quarter pipe extension.
Towards the rear of the site is 2 x 4ft half pipes linked by a spine ramp.
Councillor Gary Marsh, Cabinet Member for Service Delivery at Mid Sussex District Council, said: “It’s fantastic to see this new skatepark completed so quickly and open in plenty of time for young people to enjoy this Easter and throughout the warmer months ahead.
“It’s so important that we provide modern recreational facilities that encourage young people to make the most of the wonderful outdoor spaces we have in Mid Sussex.”
