Penistone Skate Park
Building on the experience of developing multi-use games areas for various communities, during 2003 People United Against Crime also commissioned a large skate park for youngsters in Penistone, Barnsley.
The facility was designed following extensive consultation with local youngsters and is proving an extremely popular attraction. Funding for the project was provided by Leader Plus through DEFRA, and Barnsley MBC Park Services.
The skate park is the largest facility of its kind in Barnsley, attracting youngsters from all over the area and being heavily used in all weathers. Floodlighting means that the park's use is extended during autumn and winter months.
