TAVISKATE
STORY.
In 2023, TYC brought together a dedicated steering group to kickstart the vision for a new, fully accessible concrete skatepark in Tavistock. The project was born from strong local demand for inclusive, safe, and inspiring spaces where young people can skate, scoot, and BMX.
​
Over the past few years, we’ve worked closely with the community—through public events, conversations, and surveys—to gather evidence and build support. This work helped secure the skatepark’s inclusion in the Tavistock Neighbourhood Development Plan.
TaviSkate is now an independent charity, and TYC continues to work in close collaboration with them and Tavistock Town Council to help realise this landmark project. We’re also partnering with leading skatepark designers CANVAS SPACES to ensure the new space reflects the needs and creativity of local riders.
It’s going to take a big community effort—so we need your help to make it happen.
Fundraising is now underway! We’ll soon be launching a crowdfunder and hosting a series of exciting community events. Want to get involved? Get in touch! Follow us to stay up to date with news, events, and progress.
