More Help Needed for Keyworth Skatepark, Nottingham

South Notinghamshire Village, Small Bendcrete Skatepark.

Nottingham's Infamous BroadMarsh Banks Flattened

Nottingham’s Legendary Skate and BMX Spot,  Broadmarsh Banks has be wiped off the face of the earth.

These were located at the back of the BroadMarsh Bus Station, nicely tucked away in a nice central location.

Were the main users consulted and how it would effect our long established groups, and the Council want more people to be active in their leisure time.

INDOOR SKATEPARK DREAMS AT SUTTON-IN-ASHFIELD

There maybe a chance of a small indoor Skatepark at a venue in Sutton-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, however the owner needs to know if there is a demand for a safe indoor place to Skate away from all the Chavs in the Sutton Area.

The Floor is nice and smooth with a paint finish, [...]
