Baiter skate park refurbishment project will provide a high-quality space where riders can be active, build confidence, and learn new tricks for years to come and is funded through BCP Council’s Plan for Play programme
Community feedback directly influenced the final layout which will be suitable for all skaters, scooter riders and BMX riders.
Earlier designs were refined to create more free flow space and intuitive riding experience including a reduction in the number of features within the tarmac area, refinements to the concrete skate area, and changes to the colour scheme.
Construction work, led by Maverick, will get underway on November 16 and is expected to last until March 2027. A section of the adjacent car park will be utilised as a compound for the works.
Funding for the works has primarily come from developer contributions as part of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and boosted by third-party grants and allocations.
Cllr Andy Hadley, BCP Council’s portfolio holder for parks, said: “Baiter Skatepark has been a hugely popular facility for more than 25 years and these improvements will make sure it inspires and supports skaters long into the future.
“What is particularly pleasing is that the new design has been shaped, and supported, by the people who use and know the park best.
“The result will be a modern, high-quality skatepark that caters for a wide range of abilities and creates an even stronger destination for the skateboarding community here in the BCP-area.”
Cllr Sandra Moore, BCP Council’s portfolio holder for play strategy, said: “The transformation of Baiter is another exciting milestone in our Plan for Play programme.
“Every young person deserves access to high-quality places where they can be active, build confidence, and develop new skills: that’s exactly what Plan for Play is about and I’m delighted we’re delivering on our commitment to residents.
“Whether someone is stepping onto a skateboard for the very first time or perfecting their gazelle flip – this skatepark has something for all abilities.”
