Bridgemary and Leesland skateparks in Gosport are undergoing surface repairs to improve safety and user experience as part of Gosport Borough Council’s ongoing investment in play and recreation facilities.
A leading skatepark construction firm has begun the work, which includes repairs to damaged concrete, filling holes and cracks, smoothing joints, repairing drainage covers, removing rust and carrying out maintenance across almost every piece of equipment.
Councillor Zoe Huggins, leader of Gosport Borough Council, said: "Our skateparks are really popular and provide opportunities for people of all ages to be active, develop their skills and enjoy spending time outdoors.
"These improvements will not only ensure the skateparks remain safe, but will also provide a better riding experience for skateboarders, scooter riders, and BMX users."
The skatepark works form part of Gosport Borough Council's £236,000 Playground Safety Programme, which is delivering improvements across the borough's playgrounds and recreational spaces, with projects prioritised following inspections and assessments.
