[The Skatepark Project @skatepark]

12yrs ago, Marla Rosenthall started a skatepark project to support her son's interest in skateboarding. She never gave up and put in the work. Now, @camdencounty Camden County, NJ is finally getting a skatepark thanks to Marla, Lyle, local skaters, and the public agencies.

Great initiative, but it's a real shame there isn't a skatepark for them to use.

Whether it’s the World Championship stage or the local park, 15-year-old Lola Tambling just loves skateboarding ❤️

@iqbalhussa1n @NewhamLondon Send a rescue team down there; could still be survivors.

[Skateboard GB @SkateboardGB]

Through risk of the Warehouse Skatepark in Leyland being closed down, Peter Booth, a former employee, decided to take it over himself by turning it into a CIC.

A huge thank you to Peter for sharing his inspiring story. Watch our full feature here - https://t.co/3bEu7bPXpf

@cogcyclehh 'pump track' is one of 65 named potential improvements to Beckton Parks in a "community led vision for the future of green spaces across Beckton and Custom House".
I'll try to get a high resolution image on Saturday https://t.co/PtYSjowHIt

[Skate Newham @SkateNewham]

@cogcyclehh I like the idea that both BMX & MTB could use it, freestyle and racing skills could both be honed.
Low maintenance requirement is critical so dirt jumps are less advisable than this tarmac style.
