Work on a £55,500 skate park refurbishment project in Aberdeen is now complete.

The new St Fittick's Skate Park in Torry was boosted by a £50,000 funding award from the SUEZ Community Trust, which enabled the expansion of the existing skate park to include 10 features for users of all abilities.

Speaking at the launch of the site, Council Co-Leader Jenny Laing said: "It's fantastic to see the facility already being well used and I've no doubt it will be a big draw for people from across the city.


"The Council values the role of play and physical activity and is clear about the importance of facilities that encourage that active lifestyle in all of our communities.

"We are in the midst of a significant investment in playparks throughout Aberdeen and the skate park refurbishment fits with the aims of that programme, providing a safe and welcoming environment that has transformed the area."
