Petition details

More for the kids: Mudchute Skatepark Mini Half Pipe Addition

  • Browse all current ePetitions
We the undersigned petition the council to Mudchute Skatepark is a small outdoor concrete skatepark, tucked away on the Isle of Dogs. The only official skatepark on the Isle of Dogs – and a very run down basic skatepark - meaning families need to travel out of the Isle of Dogs to bring their kids skating. In addition to this being the only skate park in the area - Mini Half Pipes are also very rare in the city centre of London - the closest is in east London: Barking, or West London: Nottinghill. Skateparks are a wonderful way for local kids to engage and enjoy outdoor activities, we'd love to make more use of our local area rather than having to travel to other boroughs. Adding a Mini Half Pipe to Mudchute Skatepark would only cost £1300. Sizing of a Mini Half Pipe: 3’H x 6’W x 16’L. There are very simple pre-built Mini Half Pipes built for outdoor usage that can be easily put together in 1 day. The proposed Mini Half Pipe could be tucked into the corner of Mudchute Skatepark where there is open area that does not obstruct

Council response

Thank you for your feedback and suggestion.

We are reviewing improvements across our parks and open spaces, with all improvements subject to funding.

Thank you for providing a suggested mini half pipe. The Parks team has reviewed this option and unfortunately it would not be suitable for the site as any equipment we install would be subject to British safety standards and inspections. The suggested mini half pipe is designed for small spaces and domestic gardens and therefore would not be suitable.

Pending any funding being made available for the site, we will look at options for improving the skatepark amenity.

You can contact the parks team via park.projects@towerhamlets.gov.uk.

Kind regards
