Work is scheduled to begin on a skate park extension in Cardenden.

The site, located at Wallsgreen Park, will have additional equipment and lighting added to it, funded by the Council's area budget.

Area Committte Chair, Councillor Willie Clarke and Executive Committee member Councillor Mark Hood recently visited the park to mark the occasion.


Councillor Clarke said: "This skate park is formed from pre-cast concrete and has limited scope. There has been a keen interest in extending it and adding more equipment and lighting. This will undoubtedly make it more attractive and demanding for skaters of all ages.

"I'm delighted that funding from the Council’s area budget is contributing towards such a worthwhile project that has been really driven by the local skaters.

"Their input to the design has been invaluable and it was a great opportunity for them to help shape improvements in their local area."

Work is expected to be completed in September.
