Wendover Skate Park

The Wendover Skatepark officially opened on Sunday 17 August with the Skatepark Opening Jam, marking the completion of a major new facility for young people in the parish. The ribbon was cut by Greg Smith MP alongside members of Wendover Parish Council.

The opening event was supported by Canvas, who ran a range of skate competitions for all age groups. Prizes were awarded to all participants, with additional prizes generously donated and funded by EFKB. Decorations for the event were purchased through crowdfunding, and the Parish Council would like to thank everyone who donated and the local businesses who contributed prizes.

The skatepark project was made possible through grant funding and financial support from a number of organisations, including the East Bucks Community Board, HS2, Heart of Bucks and the Lionel Abel Smith Trust. Wendover Parish Council also contributed funding to help deliver the project.

The skatepark provides a dedicated extreme sports facility for skateboards, inline skates, BMX bikes and scooters, and is an important addition to Wendover’s recreational spaces.
