Skatepark for Saltburn

I think it’s an amazing idea. For such a wealthy town. Our children have the least! Our parks are rubbish! Given them a Stewart’s park or a Preston park.. watch the tourists come for that! It’s a no brainier really

This marries perfectly with the popular surf culture in Saltburn, further realising the town's potential as a cultural hotspot and attracting further tourism whilst promoting an active, healthy lifestyle. Growing a skate culture in Saltburn would also create further business opportunities for skate shops, clothing shops, cafe's and bars etc. Look at Santa Monica for an example of a town that successfully capitalised on the skating trend.

Aside from the boring fiscal positives, skating is also mega cool.

My son is young and could have somewhere to go as at present Saltburn has nothing

As a resident I feel this is needed. There is no outdoor activity areas available for teenagers. This would be an excellent investment to cater for the needs of Saltburn.

This would be a fantastic resource giving a positive, healthy and creative activity for the people of a Saltburn and surrounding areas

My brother loves skating and lives in saltburn

I have children who are very excited about the prospect of having a skate park. They have skateboards and scooters, they enjoy going on them most days. Saltburn needs something for their generation, there is nothing else for them. If the community doesn’t want children/teenagers hanging around, it has to offer alternative’s. This will give them physical and mental wellbeing.

There are very few public areas for youths in Saltburn.

(Redcar, 2020-08-28)

I've seen the joy a skatepark has brought to young and old where I live.

I think this is important

Of the huge benefits skateboarding has for children and young people’s mental and physical health, social, emotional and physical development, it’s great fun and a vital facility for the area.

(Saltburn by the Sea, 2020-08-29)

#456

I believe the kids should have a skatepark. I would have Loved this back when I wasn’t bothered about falling over! Gives kids a focus and a sense of community

(Saltburn by the sea, 2020-08-29)

#457

The youth need a place to get into something and skating forms a community in a way not many other sports do.

(Wallasey, 2020-08-29)

#465

I’m signing because young people in Saltburn need more places where they can go and feel like they are welcome.

(Saltburn-by-the-Sea, 2020-08-29)

#466

I'm signing because something like this is long overdue in our area.

(Marske by the sea, 2020-08-29)

It’s much needed for the town and surrounding areas

(Newquay, 2020-08-29)

#475

We tried this when I was a teenager. I’m now 32 and there still is nowhere for teenagers to go and skate. Now the Rkade skatepark has had to shut it doors kids need somewhere to skate.

(Redcar, 2020-08-29)

The closest skate park even worth visiting nearby is Preston Park skatepark, while a great park its too much of a trip for youths to be expected to make just to participate in their hobby. Adults from miles around travel to skate at Preston Park skatepark, bringing money to the area, a skatepark in Saltburn could do just that bring money into the area and bring back the area as a tourist attraction

(Redcar, 2020-08-29)

Kids in this area so need something like this it would be amazing

This is my h needed for the youths. There is nothing to do for them

(Saltburn by the sea, 2020-08-30)

A skate park is a great idea, an opportunity for people to be active outside. What’s not to like?

(Saltburn-by-the-Sea, 2020-08-30)

#495

It's high time we had a skatepark in Saltburn! Especially now that Rkade has closed its doors! Skateboarding promotes and encourages a healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally!

(Saltburn-by-the-Sea, 2020-08-30)

#497

It's a great idea

(Wimborne, 2020-08-30)

I’m 30 now and still skateboard. I went to countless council meetings as a teenager to try get a skate park built in Marske which never happened whilst ‘less privileged’ areas around us got them built even though know one asked for them. Don’t make the kids suffer for being from a slightly nice area up north. Especially now RKade has gone!

(Marske-by-the-sea, 2020-08-30)

It's a great idea to build a skatepark!!

ive Written and deleted my message so many times. There are too many reasons. Our kids, adults and the whole community would benefit x

(Saltburn, 2020-08-31)

#507

I have young kids that would love it to happen.

(Saltburn, 2020-08-31)

#509

We need more skateparks in the area.

(Billingham, 2020-08-31)

#510

Our kids need this outside space opposed to spending hours and hours indoors on games that numb the brain, fingers crossed this time around you succeed.

(Saltburn, 2020-08-31)

#512

Awesome idea for the area

(Shildon, 2020-08-31)

Saltburn has been promised a skate park For far to long, about time we had one.

(Saltburn, 2020-09-01)

#521

There is a huge north south divide when it comes to skate facilities. Let’s narrow the gap and give theNE skaters/BMXers/Scooters/inline the facilities they need to shine. Also It’s a great support for the solid surf scenes that the NE surf communities have worked to develop over the past 4 decades. Build it and they will come.

(Tynemouth, 2020-09-01)

The kids of Saltburn need a dedicated space..all resources, funding and public spaces are currently directed at tourists and this balance needs to be redressed so the children of Saltburn have a place to call their own.

(Saltburn, 2020-09-02)

#527

Skating and related sports can have the power to get kids excercising who are not engaged by team sports and being positive for their mental health.

(Whitby, 2020-09-02)

#528

The good people of Saltburn deserve a place to skate and get creative.

(49 Marske Mill Lane, 2020-09-02)

With two boys we should encourage any activity which takes them off computers and getting active

(Middlesbrough, 2020-09-02)

Children and teens need something for entertainment in saltburn.This will also keep them fit. They won't have to hang around shop fronts or roads, they can have something to focus on. Might even encourage some to try skating for the first time.

(Saltburn, 2020-09-03)

#533

Children need something to keep them active there is little for them to do or hang out

(Saltburn, 2020-09-03)

#535

As a born and bread saltburner. I always envied cities/towns which had skateparks as an avid skater. I think having a skatepark would benefit the youth Today because it would give them a safe ground to skate/scooter/blade without being moaned at by residents. It is also encouraging exercise which is a must!

(Saltburn, 2020-09-03)

We're well overdue the implementation of this idea which has been floated by the inhabitants of Saltburn for decades.

(Saltburn-by-the-Sea, 2020-09-07)

Kids need positive outdoor spaces. Saltburn has no public playing fields or (near) town open spaces to play in.

(Saltburn, 2020-09-07)

(Saltburn, 2020-09-08)

#580

Both my sons campaigned for this in their teens, they still skate and I have grandchildren who would benefit greatly now, councils promote fitness well this will get the kids off their computer games back into activity

(Marske, 2020-09-09)

#584

There should be more facilities available for the current and future generations of action sports enthusiasts. With the rising popularity of skateboarding, scootering and BMXing this would be a good investment for Saltburn as the mentioned enthusiasts of action sports will travel to Saltburn, use facilities and purchase goods from local stores and feed back in to the local economy.

I am a resident of saltburn currently in New Zealand. Many other townships around saltburn have some sort of skatepark, however saltburn dose not. Give the people what they want!!
