New park in Weston-super-Mare
Jubilee Park, between Windwhistle Lane and Bridgwater Road on the Coronation Estate now has a new concrete skatepark which has been funded as part of a £3.7-million project to improve the four Weston estates.
The skate park consists of a low-rise street-scene area, described as a skate plaza and was designed by Bendcrete, who worked with Concrete Community, a group of local skaters and BMX riders. Photo taken before landscaping finished.
Three other fairly new nearby parks - if you visit them, please email me some pics?
