Justin Opens New Haydon Wick Skate Park

North Swindon MP joined local residents to celebrate the opening of the Haydon Wick Skate Park following an £80,000 revamp.

Following the trend across Swindon for more accessible equipment, the refurbished skate park can be used by people in wheelchairs, and is described as multi-purpous and multi-age.

It is hoped the new skate park, run by Haydon Wick Parish Council, will be a vibrant youth hub, and help develop creativity through a legal grafitti wall.

The opening was very popular, with visitors being entertained by a DJ, facepainting, and refreshements provided by Hjälpande Händer Catering - who provide employment opporutnites to people with disabilities.

Justin said: "I was great to see the skate park re-open with such a fun and lively event. The new park will be a fantastic community asset, providing a safe environment for young people to socialise."
