Mission Statement

Our Vision for Southsea Skatepark

To be a regional and national centre of excellence for extreme sports. We aim to achieve this by:

• Ensuring the long term financial viability of the Skatepark by generating sufficient income to sustain and continuously improve the Skatepark and its facilities
• Being recognised as a skatepark of significance, with strong historical ties locally, regionally, nationally and internationally
• Catering for skating, skateboarding, BMX and scooter riding at all levels from beginner to professional
• While respecting the skatepark’s heritage, bringing the facilities up to international standards
• Hosting a rich programme of events at local and national and potentially international level, including Olympic
• Fostering local talent and giving all users the opportunity to reach their potential
• Extending opportunities for use of the Skatepark by the community, including non-sporting activities and events
• Building partnerships with local schools and other organisations, including encouraging the inclusion of extreme sports in the sports curriculum
• Creating secure jobs to enable the recruitment, training and retention of high quality staff
• Supporting the City’s visitor economy and contributing to the regeneration of Southsea seafront in line with the seafront masterplan
