Skate Parks within Fareham
The Leisure and Community Division manages seven skate parks across the borough. These skate parks are designed to provide sport activity for young people and include young people's seating areas. They aim to offer a stimulating challenge to those children and young people who are too old for existing play areas (which are predominantly aimed at 4-8 year olds), or who do not want to participate in structured youth activities.
Each site provides a localised area where young people could safely congregate and entertain themselves without the fear of being ‘moved on’ by the Police or asked to leave by local residents. The sites provide access to a variety of recreational equipment, which has been chosen specifically to provide stimulating and challenging recreational opportunities for local young people.
Fareham Borough Council has recently installed metal skate parks across the borough which are suitable for BMX riders, skaters and skateboarders. These skate parks were developed in partnership with local young people and workshops were held to select the equipment for each site. Residents and stakeholders were consulted on these proposals prior to the installation of these facilities.
These facilities are maintained by the Council’s Grounds Maintenance Team. Damage or works required can be reported online using the Report a Problem form.
