Kerbs Skateboard Association Penzance
We are pleased to see how much the ramp on the seafront is loved. We agree the ramp is an icon but unfortunately it is no longer financially viable or practical to keep the ramp in the skatepark.
The ramp has been closed on health and safety grounds by ROSPA, a health and safety body, as the structure has rotted substantially and is unsafe. It also requires further work to bring the railings up to health and safety standards.
The ramp and skatepark have been maintained by volunteers for many years.
The new facility will be made of concrete as it will need to be as cost effective and low maintenance as possible.
The new facility will be open to all - whether bikers, skaters, scooters or otherwise. We wish to encourage everyone to use the park across all ages and of all abilities.
