Broomfield Park Skatepark Feasibility Study Appeal

Broomfield Park Skatepark Group (BPSG), is a not-for-profit voluntary group, working with Enfield Council and the Friends of Broomfield Park. Our aim is to build a new skatepark in Broomfield Park, Palmers Green, North London, for community use, focusing on the needs of local young people.

 

We want the new skatepark to cater for the specific needs of skateboarders, BMX bike riders, Scooter riders, Inline and Roller Skate riders; and users of other types of multi-wheel devices used on a skatepark. Enfield is remarkably lacking in skateboarding facilities, something we would like to change especially as the sport is more popular than ever since its inclusion in the Olympics in 2021.

 

We already have an online petition appeal which has gained much support with signatures and comments (https://www.change.org/p/lets-build-a-skatepark-in-broomfield-park?redirect=false).

 

We are now seeking to raise initial funds for an essential Feasibility Study to be undertaken by renowned skatepark company Betongpark, as part of the pre-build planning process. The study is a Council requirement prior to new features being built in parks and includes consultation with those who may be affected by a new build, plus location recommendations. The Council have already indicated, in principle, their support for the new skatepark but simply have no funds to help us make this dream a reality. Betongpark have kindly offered to undertake the Study at a reduced community rate.

 

Broomfield Park Stakepark Group is an unincorporated association with a bank account in its name and over 100 members.

 

Any amount you can chip in to help pay for this essential first step is massively appreciated!
