A preview of the design proposed by Maverick Industries
Falmouth is one step closer to the construction of a new skate park after a meeting where over 60 skaters turned up to show their support. Falmouth Town Council and supporters of the proposal met at the town library where the prototype design for the park was presented.
Since the removal of the old skate park in 2014, Falmouth Skatepark Project has been pushing forward plans to get a brand-new park built at Dracaena. The design proposed was created by Maverick Industries who have also built parks in Porthleven and are currently constructing a £650,000 park in Newquay called Concrete Waves.
Now the designs have been put forward and received a positive reaction, planning permission can be applied for. A representative from the Falmouth Skatepark Project said: “This is assuming that it has 100% support from the town council, which I think we have, but there may be one or two councillors that weren’t brave enough to object in front of the 60 skaters that attended the meeting”
Falmouth has been without a skate park for almost four years and the group run regular fundraisers around Falmouth, one of which will take place at The Stannary on the 28th of April with guests from the local skate scene, a pop-up bar and music. The event has free entry and all donations go towards the building of the new Dracaena park.

Falmouth town council are being amazingly supportive in this field and are promising to help us with their expertise. If all goes to plan we could be building this time next year”
