The new skate park in Phear Park is now open and ready for use.

The £365,000 project was funded with £240,000 from East Devon District Council and £125,000 from Exmouth Town Council.

The official opening of the skate park will take place on Saturday 30 October from 12pm to 4pm and will include an informal competition and professional demo riders.

Security fencing will remain in place around the edge of the site so that the grass can grow, and the district council has asked people to keep off the fenced-off areas to prevent mud getting onto the skate park.
