Littlehampton Skate Jam

Friday, 20 August 2021 15:13

The Council is extremely pleased to officially open the skate park on Sea Road in Littlehampton with a skate jam event taking place next week (Wednesday 25th August)

The original opening event had to be postponed due to poor weather and then more recently Covid-19. The skate jam will be run by Maverick Industries Ltd and will feature professional riders who will run demo sessions and competitions to win prizes.

Arun District Council and Littlehampton Town Council worked in partnership to bring about the skate park upgrade, the total budget for which amounted to £200,850.

Littlehampton Town Council provided £81,425 funding, Sport England provided grant funding of £45,800 and the remainder of the funding was provided by Arun District Council.

Councillor Jim Brooks, Chairman of Arun District Council, said “We would like to say a huge thank you to the Maverick team for all their hard work to bring about the skate park which is extremely popular in the local area. We hope you all enjoy the skate jam to mark the opening of this great facility.”

The skate jam will take place on Wednesday 25 August 12-4pm.
