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 becoming a CIC, who will work in partnership with Tavistock Youth Cafe 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.

The total cost of the project is 300k. We have secured one third of the funding from Tavistock Town Council and S106 money. However, we still need to raise 200k! We intend for this to come via grants, donations and fundraiser events.

That's why we need the help of our strong community and every donation will be a greatly appreciated contribution!
