Guy Hollaway Architects have revealed plans for a multi-level skate park to draw interna- tional skaters and spectators to Folkestone, UK. The plans outline a 1,000sq m (10,700sq
ft) three-storey skate park for the seaside town in the south east of England, the first multi-story facility of its kind. The sports park will also host a variety of popular urban sports including skateboarding, BMX-ing, rollerblading and scootering, with additional trial cycling facilities, a climbing

wall and a boxing club. It will serve as a national and international attraction, besides offering access to young people involved in the popular local skate and BMX scene. The building is a former bingo hall which
is located near Folkestone's regeneration zone. Nearby, the town’s creative quarter is home to other architecturally significant projects, including the recently completed Quarterhouse performing arts centre and digital hub 'The Workshop'.
Commissioned by the Roger De Haan Charitable Trust, the scheme by Guy Hollaway Architects went out to public con- sultation locally in May as part of a process that will lead to a formal planning application. Chair of Folkestone Youth Project, Damian Collins, said: “The proposals would take pro- vision for young people in Folkestone to a new level, and would help to establish permanent amenities that would be the envy of any town in the south east.” More:
