£600,000 Planned for New Skate Park and Pump Track in Torfaen
The Torfaen council plans to invest up to £600,000 to redesign the existing skate park in Pontypool Park and establish a new pump track. This initiative addresses maintenance issues and vandalism while aiming to enhance community engagement and recreational facilities.

The Torfaen council is set to allocate £600,000 for the redevelopment of the Pontypool Park skate park and the construction of a new pump track. Funding will be sourced from a Section 106 agreement and the council's community fund, with £180,000 earmarked from the former Trevethin Comprehensive School site and £420,000 from council resources.
A feasibility study indicated that the existing skate park has accessibility issues and is prone to vandalism. The council has received 124 responses from a recent consultation, indicating strong demand for improved facilities. The project aims to create a durable, modern facility for various user abilities and enhance local tourism.
