After years of fundraising and hard work by many people, the building work has began on Felixstowe Skatepark. The area where the skatepark is to be built on Orwell Green has been fenced off near Morrisons supermarket and Christ Church. Lots of ground work has been happening on the site including the removal of large amounts of top soil for the £180,000 skatepark’s sunken design. The contract was awarded by Suffolk Coastal District Council to Bendcrete Ltd to build the skatepark, who also built Woodbridge skatepark last year.
Thanks to Rosie Graves for the photos of the current work included in this post.

Thought you might be interested to know that finally after 3 half year. The Club FSA & SCDC (Joe Liggett) sent in the planning application for Felixstowe Skatepark on 21/02/06 . So the project is now in the hands of the local planning authority….
Yet again it a matter of waiting, but this is furthest and skatepark project gone in the last 15 years.
The planning authority will be putting notice up around the site next week sometime I think.
