Stockwell Skatepark was first constructed in 1978, the park is a popular and iconic skate sports park with a large number of users both from within the borough and beyond.
Due to its worsening condition, major refurbishment is required and Lambeth Council have been working closely with the Friends of Stockwell Skatepark (FoSS) to plan this refurbishment.
Specialist skatepark contractors Canvas Spaces have been appointed as the lead contractor to carry out the design and build. Canvas Spaces are an experienced skatepark builder and are looking forward to working on Stockwell Skatepark.
The majority of the park will remain the same, but with a new surface. There are parts of the park which will be redesigned to make them fit for purpose. We want to hear from users of the park about how to improve the park through this refurbishment.
Word from the Cabinet
Cllr Sonia Winifred, Cabinet Member for Equalities and Culture, said: “This is a hugely popular skatepark right in the heart of Lambeth and it’s important that its fit for purpose for all those people who use it. Spaces like this are often hard to find in central London and are so important to give people of all ages somewhere to enjoy their free time.
“We’ve managed to get an agreement with various partners to properly fund a renovation of the park, which will be done with the advice of Friends of Stockwell Skatepark to ensure it remains a great place for people to skate for many years to come.”
