Local estate agent Hose Rhodes Dickson are to sponsor the brand new Freshwater skatepark and pump track project with a generous donation – and that may be just the start.
HRD, who will be opening a branch in the village in late August, have confirmed they will be making a generous donation to the Freshwater skatepark and pump track. This goes a long way to helping Freshwater Parish Council match the funding they have dedicated to the project.
The first year should see the pump track taking shape on Stroud playing fields, followed by a new skatepark to replace current facilities on land near Moa Place.
A regular sponsorship from Hose Rhodes Dickson could follow the development phase as a contribution towards such costs as maintenance and staffing.
Peter Barfoot, senior negotiator at the Freshwater branch said:
“We are really excited to open our Freshwater office and become part of the vibrant West Wight community. The Freshwater Skatepark will be a real asset to the area, providing a dedicated place for all ages and ability to enjoy, plus the pump track will be a huge draw for local tourism. We are pleased to be involved with the project from these early stages and can’t wait to watch the plans unfold and see people enjoying themselves.”
Brilliant news, skateparks are an asset to any community..doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like its what you can do that counts..
