A spokesman for the town council said: “We would love everyone to bring some friends along and enjoy a great afternoon at our brilliant skatepark. “People of all ages and abilities are welcome, whether you use a skateboard, BMX, scooter or just want to come along and watch the action while enjoying the great atmosphere.

“We are taking this opportunity to engage with users of the skatepark and get their opinions on how the skatepark is currently being used, what they love about it, and how the facility could be improved.

"We are looking for young people and users to take ownership of their skatepark and represent it by reporting issues, keeping communications with the council, and sharing images.

“We want to ensure that our skatepark is a safe and enjoyable place for all and so the event will also focus on how we can prevent crime and anti-social behaviour in our community generally and, at this exciting facility, particularly.

“Grand Union will be joining us on the day, alongside the Police, depending on their duties, plus members of the community and representatives of the town council.”

The skatepark is located at Sunderland Road Recreation Ground, in Sandy, SG19 1RQ.
