Plans finalised for new skatepark at Miners’ Welfare Park

It's been designed to suit skateboarders, scooters, in-line skates, and BMX riders.

The skatepark is due to be constructed in spring or summer 2026 and should open at some point during 2026.

The council has said that design changes have had to be made since proposals were first consulted on, to fit within the available budget - but key elements have been retained and additional new features added as part of amending the original design.

The new skatepark design includes a rhythm section, bowled areas, park section, street section and a perimeter line.

It's been designed to suit skateboarders, scooters, in-line skates, and BMX riders, and is beginner-friendly, while still offering a challenge and progression for more experienced users.

Cllr Brady Hughes, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Health, said: “We are really looking forward to seeing a skatepark facility back in Miners’ Welfare Park next year and back in Bedworth.

“We understand the significant frustration felt when the previous metal skatepark had to be dismantled due to structural decay of the ramps making its use unsafe.

“The new concrete skatepark will bring the provision right up to date, with many new elements that skatepark users would want to see in a modern skatepark, including high surface quality, which will improve the experience for users.”
