New Skatepark Opens This Weekend

The island’s newest skatepark will officially open this weekend and there is a chance to wins some prizes.

A collaboration between Gals Skate, the Shred House and Garff Commissioners, the new skate park is on Laxey’s Glen Road.

The opening gets underway at 12pm and will kick off a day of events with ramp competitions and taster sessions with Gals Skate and the Shred House.

There is also a scooter competition from 12.45pm to 1.30pm and a skate competition from 2.45pm to 3.30pm, with prizes up for grabs there too.

However, while the skatepark is opening, it does need a name and the person who submits the best entry will win a prize, which has been sponsored by the Commissioners.
