It’s been a long time coming but at last the new skate park in Hollingdean Park, Lynchet Close, is happening! The contract has been awarded to Bendcrete.
Last week some of the skaters met with them to approve final changes, although there is very little change from the original design.
Bendcrete will liaise with the skaters throughout the build which starts on 8th May. It is expected to take approximately 6 weeks to build. The official opening will be at T in the Park on Sunday 1st July – so get the date in your diary.
Brighton & Hove is celebrating as the city council’s bid for a £2.2 million Lottery grant to restore The Level has been granted. The money comes from the Funds’ joint Parks for People scheme. More information on the council’s website.
As part of the overall restoration of The Level, Freestyle Skateparks have been appointed to design and build the new skatepark and work will now start on the design. Skaters and local residents will have an opportunity to feed into the process.
Once a design has been developed, the project team will work with the Brighton & Hove Skateparks Association to prepare funding bid applications to raise the additional funding required to build the skatepark. More details about the timescales and the consultation and engagement process for The Level Skatepark will follow shortly.

News from Liz Lee (Community Development Worker) - Just to let you know we have been successful in our bid to Community Spaces for £49,999 for the skatepark.
There is a meeting next Tuesday 17 August at 6.00pm at the Community Centre when the person who has been commissioned to do the drawings will meet the skaters. As you know we have the design for the skatepark, it just needs to be adjusted to fit into the new space. Hope to see you there.
