Southwater Parish Council says the new skate and BMX park has been designed by Cambian Action Sports and will be installed by the company in 2023.
It will be situated at the previous site at Ben’s Field, Stakers Lane, near Southwater Country Park.

The new skate and BMX park will measure 20 metres in length and be 13.8 metres wide and consist of various ramps, ‘pipes’, wall-rides, jump boxes, sub boxes and decks, all similar to the original facility.
Horsham District Council granted planning consent in September.
