Would be a great addition to the city and would give kids something to do rather than entertain the idea of Anti social behaviour due to the lack of facilities for people their age.

Be brilliant to see one back in the town again. Nowhere great for young skaters to practice here

This is a great idea, kids need to be creative and free to have fun. Give them a chance. Long term less wear and tear on street furniture.

It’s a disgrace that there’s never been a public Skate Park in this town , for skaters, BMXers rollerblades & scooters !!

A skate park would be a fabulous resource for all the people young and old who love this sport. It saves them having to use places which are not fit for purpose.

The city of Derry would benefit greatly from the addition of a dedicated skateboarding park. It is well documented that the presence of a skate park reduces illicit behaviour by providing designated spaces for positive activities and curbing unlawful behaviour. Skate parks also provide safe environments for skateboarding. The most common injuries are falls due to surface irregularities an collisions with motor vehicles or pedestrians. The presence of a skate park would reduce damage to private property. Skateboarding has physical health benefits and would help curb childhood and adolescent obesity, as well as provide mental health benefits in the form of stronger social connections and regular exercise.
