EVEN WITHOUT A COLLISION A CHILD FACES MANY DANGERS ON THE MAIN SKATEPARK, INCLUDING TOPPLING  INTO ONE OF THE DEEP BOWLS.

THE YOUNGER CHILDREN HAVE NOT YET LEARNT TO BE AWARE OF EVERYTHING HAPPENING AT SPEED AROUND THEM AND ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH THE FAST FLOW OF THE OLDER USERS.   FALLING INTO A 12 FOOT DEEP BOWL AND LANDING ON THE CONCRETE CAN WRECK A CHILD’S LIFE FOR EVER.

THE MINI-PARK WAS BUILT SPECIFICALLY TO CATER FOR THE YOUNGER USER’S NEEDS AND TO ALLOW THEM TO LEARN THEIR SKILLS IN A SAFE AREA.

WE THEREFORE, RESPECTFULLY, ASK ALL PARENTS AND CARERS TO BE VIGILANT AND TO BE AWARE OF WHICH PART OF THE SKATE COMPLEX THEIR CHILDREN ARE USING.

IMPORTANTLY, WE AGAIN ADVISE THAT ALL USERS SHOULD WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR AND IN PARTICULAR HELMETS WHEN ON ANY PART OF THIS SKATING FACILITY.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE SKATEPARK WOULD BE A TRAGEDY FOR ANY USER, THEIR FAMILY AND EVERYONE INVOLVED.   IT WOULD ALSO PUT THE FUTURE OF THE SKATEPARK IN JEOPARDY.
