Pencester Gardens skatepark has a bold new look following a refurbishment
Dover District Council (DDC) has completed an £8,500 programme of repairs and refurbishment to the Pencester Gardens skatepark, including giving it a colourful new look!
The Council’s in-house maintenance team undertook the work which included renewing the areas at the base of the ramps to make it more durable and replacing some of the corroded panels. The work was done in stages to avoid shutting the skatepark.
For visitors to Pencester Gardens the most obvious sign of the works is the jazzy new paintwork!
Set in Pencester Gardens in the heart of Dover town centre, the skatepark includes a range of ramps, pipes, steps, and rails suitable for skateboard, roller blade and scooter users.
Cllr Oliver Richardson, DDC’s cabinet member for corporate property, said: “Pencester Gardens is one of our most popular skateparks and needed a makeover, so it’s great to see the facility back in full use and with a fresh new look.
"Some of the young skateboarders like the new look so much, they've asked if we can paint their bedrooms!”
