The Vale of White Horse District council intends to build a new skatepark in Abingdon.

There is already a BMX track at the Radley end of Abingdon off Audlett Drive, but young people have petitoned for something more suitable, and been heard.

Problems with the existing BMX track are: it is on the far edge of Abingdon; the track is prone to flooding and is breaking up in places; the half-pipe has been removed .

Anyway over to some real skaters comments taken from a petition website.

Come on people we need a skatepark. please sign the petition their ent nutin good roung abingdon we need somethin to liven the place up!

Yeah, we definatley need a skate park, keeps us off streets! Matt rules, he needs somewhere to show off his talent! 🙂

Get oneee! sum ppl dun like to spend all their spare time just hangin around shops n lazing around. a skate park is what everyone needs!

Better than getting into a fight each night, count me in, i know it sounds stupid but introduce a cheap membership type thing, otherwise all the rudeboys around abingdon are just going to ruin it for everyone come on council! we need this park so much! and its not just going to be for “kids”, its going to be for everyone (im 19), so its got to be a good park,. not one of these “bought out of a catalogue crap parks that are a waste of money and dont get used”

A skatepark is needed. Preferably a brilliant one with miniramp, decent funboxes and some kind of speed ramp and a halfpipe like the newest one at iffley!!!
