Scarborough Skate Park - The Grand Opening
12th Aug 2009
The grand opening of Scarborough’s newest attraction, Hairy Bob’s Skate Park, is due to take place on Saturday 22nd August 2009.
Originally due to open on Saturday 15th August, as reported in the Scarborough Evening News, the opening has now been put back a week but organisers are hoping that it will be well worth the wait.
The grand opening will take place between 12pm – 6pm and will feature live bands, trade stalls, pro demonstrations and prize giveaways.
The skate park, located on Marine Drive just in front of Hairy Bob’s Cave and within walking distance of our Clifton Hotel, is part of the Royal Albert Park regeneration project. The aim of the project was to create a new skate and bike park on Scarborough’s North Bay.
The Royal Albert Park regeneration project was also involved in the development of the new North Bay play area, located near Hairy Bob’s Skate Park and which was officially opened yesterday. This new Scarborough attraction means that youngsters have a new park to use and the opening of this facility was marked with a barbecue in the new picnic area.
Both of these new Scarborough attractions are for residents and guests staying at Scarborough hotels to use and enjoy. It is hoped that these facilities will be the first of many to be developed in the North Yorkshire coastal town.
