Firstly congratulations to Enfield Chace and Enfield Grammer School for amazing mural artwork at the Skatepark. As background, back in October I flagged with the Council that the skatepark was very grey and needed brightening up. From this the Council commissioned a local artist who has consulted with skatepark users.
Still more work to be done at the Skatepark and spotted a few issues that will take up with the Council.Since March 2021 I have been raising the neglected condition of the skatepark with Enfield Council. This has involved a lot of time and effort including many site visits – but we have now seen significant progress made in two years.
It is now looking much better. Improvements secured:
Area torn up during cemetery expansion (pictured right) now resurfaced as above.
New bins installed and regular litter picking of the site.
Potholes near ramps repaired.
Maintenance works on the trees/bushes/grass.
New fencing barrier installed.
Planting area created.
Graffiti continues to be removed from old toilet building / ramps. Some had swear words.If anyone has ideas of how we can improve the site further please let me know.
