Salisbury Mini Ramp, Wiltshire
Salisbury skatepark mini ramp
Salisbury City Council chose Clark & Kent Contractors to install the new skateboard mini ramp because they are one of the country's top manufacturers of concrete skateparks.
The old skate ramp, enjoyed by skaters for over ten years, was to be replaced due to its poor condition and general wear and tear. The new ramp is a classic halfpipe design for beginners and advanced skaters.
A graduated transition is on the side of the ramp, perfect for skaters new to ramp riding. There's an optional high extension section for the more advanced skater where more speed can be gained for bigger tricks.
The Salisbury mini ramp is designed to blend in with the green space. Grass banks are formed at either end to help make the structure more natural and pleasing to the eye.
Pre-construction work included hosting user group and community consultation engagement events and designing and supplying drawing packages for planning purposes. It also involved fencing and securing the site before setting out with the client and engineer.
Mini ramp construction included site strip and clearance, material storage, drainage, sub-base, Tarmac surfacing, concrete, and a landscape turfing scheme. We also supplied and Installed permanent user signage and agreed on a maintenance contract. Further online project promotion of the mini ramp delivered a positive message to the community.
Location: Salisbury Skatepark, Greyfriars Close, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP1 2HP
What a fantastic effort by Clark and Kent Contractors in removing the old skate ramp and installing a new one in the period of just one month. The facility will continue to be a great space for the local community to socialise and exercise for many more years to come.
