Wombridge Skatepark, Telford

Wombridge skatepark in Telford is ideal for beginners

Wombridge skatepark construction

We wanted to be involved in the Wombridge skatepark project for many years after building the popular Wombridge BMX pump track on the top end of the site in 2014.

The existing tarmac skate bowl had become unsafe and needed replacement or refurbishment, so the decision was taken to design and build a new skate park in its place.

The skatepark design at Wombridge underwent several changes as user groups pitched in with exciting ideas. Delivering their ambitious proposals and keeping within budget was a challenge.

As a family firm, and because of our experience in delivering this type of project, we were able to monitor every stage of the process, ensure we met the needs of the user groups, and deliver the Wombridge skate bowl project on time and within budget for the Telford & Wrekin council.

The skatepark was designed to be accessible for beginners, with opportunities to roll in and drop in. A range of flat and mellow banks means beginners can have fun and build up their confidence in skateboarding. The all-concrete park has also been designed to maximise flow and has received great feedback from beginner and experienced skateboarders.

Clark and Kent personally undertook all parts of the groundwork, landscaping and surfacing in-house. This is another item that sets us apart from our competitors.

The skatepark is another valuable asset to the Telford & Wrekin Town Council. It was installed as part of the regeneration of many local parks, play facilities, and green open spaces. The council aims to encourage more young people to take up skateboarding and BMX biking.
