I was speaking to the guys at Rushcliffe Country Park today about skateparks, they have an old wooden mini ramp there at present. The location is great and there could be a possibility of upgrading it to a concrete one, if the demand was good enough.
Rushcliffe Country Park Mini Ramp and BMX Track
I know its all down to funding, but the Park Manager may be up for gaining funding if a petition or interest is generated for this idea.
We may be pissing in the wind, but its worth a go, especially as skating and BMXing is here to stay.
For the older riders with a family it is somewhere you could skate and watch your kids on the great park opposite. The older skaters could even note down the Steam Engine numbers whilst they were having a rest !!.
Please check out Rushcliffe Borough Council website for the location and contact details, as you may want to express or suggest it would be a great idea and would be used regular if built to the users requirements.

It would be a great place to have a concrete skateapark (similar size but different design to Clifton), but it would only get done if potential users pushed hard for it. Just wishes for things like that, will never happen unless people start getting involved.
It won’t be a waste of money making it a concrete skatepark because a lot of people will use it & all the bike users will still be there plus all those skate board users and scooter users
