This page is going to news about things happening all around Scotland such as new parks, upcoming skateparks and other
stuff.
Skatepark News
This part is going to be on news of all the skateparks that have been built, or being built, and that are planning to be built.
Forfar
Money is starting to be raised in Forfar, with strong support coming from everyone, especially the Lord Provest who is
keen on having a skatepark built. The people raising money for the park have had some quotes, and are checking out other Scottish
parks for ideas. Hopefully development shall start soon.
Montrose
There has a piece of land been found for the montrose skatepark, and the group who are organising it are collecting the
funds. The initial drawings for the park are done, and so far the skaters are happy with it.
Dundee
Rumour has it that the new Factory skatepark should be finished by about November this year, but remember these are only
rumours. The new Factory is getting its own building made specifically to fit everything in so it should hopefully be better
than the present Factory. On other Dundee news, the plans for the outdoor skatepark being built in Dudhope park are viewable
in the Dundee skateshops, Ozzy's and Effective Edge.
I just found a website with plans of the new Dundee outdoor skatepark. Click on the link for it to appear.

There has been a new upgrade in the current Factory skatepark. The funbox in the middle of the two quarter pipes has had
a new flatbannk on one of the sides, which looks good and skates really well and fast. I hope this doesnt mean they will put
the entry price up like they did when it got updated last time.
On other Factory news, the beginner sessions that used to be on Monday 6-8, Wednesday 6-8 and Saturday 9-12 have all been
changed to mixed sessions except for the Monday session.
Dumbarton
The Dumbarton is constantly being worked on to complete hall 2. Also, the Red Bull Vert ramp has almost finished its stay
at Dumbarton, so hopeully a new vert ramp will be built.
