RBC’s Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Communities and Climate Change Cllr Abby Brennan said: “We are delighted that Skate Nottingham are offering coaching and guidance sessions as part of the official opening celebrations, giving younger and older skaters alike a chance to have a go at the sport.The brilliant new skate park has received great reactions so far from both our partners in the project and skaters and BMXers alike. We’d love for any residents or visitors to come along and give skateboarding a try!”
She adds: “We are formally celebrating this great new facility this Saturday, in line with COVID-19 restrictions lifting in recent weeks and hope everyone can join us for a fun morning and afternoon.”
The facility replaced the former wooden structure which was in need of refurbishment and the Council developed the project alongside Skate Nottingham, science education charity Ignite! Futuresand Nottingham Trent University.
Skate Nottingham’s instructors promise they will sanitise all the equipment before and after the sessions. Where the coaches need to have contact with a participant, in order to reduce their risk of falling, they will sanitise their hands before and after and will wear a mask in case of prolonged proximity.
Skate Nottingham also request that those attending wear appropriate footwear such as trainers, running shoes or plimsolls and parents or carers are requested to not go onto the skatepark area during the lesson.
