Work on the new skatepark in Newbridge is expected to commence next month after a contractor was appointed to carry out the construction of the new amenity.

The site, which is located at Moorefield Park, will contain a public skatepark which will be available for all in the area to use and will be the first of its kind in Newbridge.

Garden Escapes Ltd have been appointed to carry out the job of developing the skatepark. The Ballynahinch based company are skilled in the provision of outdoor fitness and sports areas for all age groups.

They have worked with councils, schools and sports clubs across the country, providing a range of facilities that help people to become more active including outdoor gyms and Multi Use Games Areas.

Construction is due to begin next month and will take in the region of 3 months to complete.
