he sports development experts have created a new 1000sq m (10,763 sq ſt) indoor skate park at the Greenwich Leisure Limited


(GLL) Barking Sporthouse centre, along with a VerTgo climbing wall. Te skate park used five courts of a large


20 badminton court sports hall, separating the remaining three quarters of the facility with a large partition. Te VerTgo Indoor Climbing has 14 elements, catering for new and experienced climbers. GLL asked Alliance Leisure to come


up with ideas for attracting new users and providing a space for young people in December 2014 and five months later, the project was delivered on time and within budget.


At an overall cost of £750,000, more


than half (£500,000) was funded by Sport England Improvement Fund and the rest invested by GLL. Alliance delivered the project from start to finish, bringing its expertise in project management and full supply chain. As well as the new facilities, a new ‘caged’


entrance and reception space has been developed, along with a mezzanine floor viewing area with DJ platform for events. New toilet facilities have been


installed and young users can store their bikes and scooters in a dedicated bike park in the centre. Since the centre opened in May, more
