Bury St Edmunds Skatepark
|
Bury St Edmunds has its own purpose build wooden Skatepark in Olding Road (off Western Way) featuring a range of challenging ramps and a recently opened street course. The free to use park is suitable for BMXers, bladers and boarders.
The facility was build in response to demand from young people, who helped to design, fund-raise for and also run the popular facility. Further to this, a pump track was constructed and opened earlier in the year.

BMX Pump Track
Members of the Bury Skate Park Experience, felt the need to improve their skate
park with the addition of a BMX track. Their own ideas on the track were included.
Through funding from the lottery funded Changing Spaces, they got a grant to improve the skate park with the track as well as lights, new bins and benches.
In celebration of the additions to the park, the park opened formally on 3 June 2011.
