Freshwater Skatepark

Freshwater Skatepark opened in September 2002. The skatepark is made up of wooden ramps on a tarmac base. It is an outdoors skatepark and is free to use.

The skatepark features a back and forth run with a flat bank either side of a box.

Freshwater Skatepark is owned, managed, and maintained by Freshwater Parish Council. A caretaker is employed by the Parish Council for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week. They are responsible for clearing debris, inspecting the park and equipment reporting any concerns or issues that need to be dealt with.

Users are encouraged to clear debris and rubbish using the bins provided.
