A new skatepark has opened at Carlisle’s Hammond’s Pond.
It is part of the city’s major regeneration programme, Start with the Park.
The skatepark was officially opened by chair of Cumberland Council Andy Semple, chair of the Carlisle Town Deal Board David Wright, and Carlisle mayor Jeanette Whalen.
Local skate shop Ten and Fower promoted the event within the local skating community and donated prizes for competitions at the opening.
Start with the Park is an £100 million regeneration programme for Carlisle.
It aims, the council said, to transform Carlisle city centre by improving infrastructure, supporting economic growth and creating a more attractive, accessible environment for residents, businesses and visitors.
The programme is supported by the Government funding through the Future High Streets Fund, Town Deal and Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal initiative.
