Parc Coed y Nant – Skatepark

Parc Coed y Nant is a large urban park located to the rear of Pentwyn Leisure Centre.

The park has an existing skate park which is in poor condition and not well used despite significant local demand. This project proposes the removal of the existing skate park equipment and provision of a new concrete skatepark which will be developed through consultation. A youth shelter was removed some years ago and the bins and benches have either been damaged or are in a poor state of repair. This project also proposes new bins and benches and consideration to be given to the provision of a new youth shelter.

This will provide a centralised, convenient location for young people at facilities which are robust and usable. The skate park would be located on the existing site at the leisure centre which has parking and a variety of amenities.

A plan will be provided based on the following:

• Decommission/remove existing skate park
• Replace with a new concrete SPOT (300m2) skate park
• The consideration of a new youth shelter
• Replace bins and benches

Changes have been made to the design of the scheme following consultation and can be seen on the attached plans. We are awaiting comments from internal departments and will update the website with the final design shortly.
