New skate park and refurbished loos planned for Freshwater A NEW sporting facility could be coming to Freshwater. As the popular skatepark in Freshwater, next to the West Wight Sports Centre, icomes to the end of its life, and with the parish council finding repairs and upkeep costly, a new skatepark is proposed as part of its 2021/22 budget. The new skatepark and pump track would be built near the current play area at Stroud and designed to accommodate all riders with areas for all skill levels and ages.
