Skate Park
The Ashford BMX Skate Park was
recently refurbished in 2011. Since its opening, the
park has been used constantly. It is now the main meeting point for
young people and has helped improve relationships between young
people and other residents.
The site is free to access and is located in the centre of the
town, next to the Stour Centre and the International Station.
Young people became involved on a voluntary basis and formed the
Ashford Skatepark Foundation. Their ongoing involvement required
them to consult with peers and feed back views on the development
of the skatepark on a regular basis.
The park is floodlit and can be accessed up to 8pm each night
during the winter.
Next to the park is Sk8side which is a youth facility which acts
as a drop ion centre for young people aged between 13 and 19, for
further information telephone 01233 623223.
