Undercover Skatepark Project Gets Temp Location
Have you ever been walking around ASDA or Sainsbury's and then wondered what it would be like to throw your board down and have a cheeky skate on the irresistibly smooth floor? Then thought about it more and wondered what it would be like if they had the building made as a skatepark instead of a boring supermarket.
Undercover Skatepark Project in Portsmouth has transformed this warehouse formerly known as 'Sainsbury's' (a supermarket for those outside the UK) into a temporary indoor skatepark. The building was being leased, and the council ended up giving the green light for a temporary skatepark to be constructed in its space. Even though it is currently a 'temp' Skatepark, there are progressive encouragements from the community and people who work within the council to make the skatepark permanent.
The skatepark is set to open its doors for the first time this week officially - December 10, 2022.
More information will be available as this topic makes progresses.
