PROJECT DESCRIPTION

One of the oldest skateparks in London or for that matter anywhere, Stockwell, aka “Brixton Beach” or “Brixton Bowls” – was built in 1978. It is overseen by the Friends of Stockwell Skatepark and was constructed by Lorne Edwards, who built the UKs first skatepark at Portland, Dorset. The new concrete finishing work which incorporates HATCRETE Stanton Red Colourmix was supplied by Capital Concrete and carried out by Betongpark, one of Europe’s leading skatepark design and construction firms. Stuart Maclure, Development Manager at Betongpark, said “Refurbishing Stockwell Skatepark has been a dream project for us, and we were incredibly proud of the end result. More people than ever are taking up skateboarding and this project will help create a skatepark that riders from all walks of life can really enjoy.”
