Junction 4 Skatepark provides a safe and secure indoor environment for the local community to participate in urban and alternative sports, including skateboarding, scooter riding, BMX and in-line skating. The skatepark has operated as a Community Interest Company since 1 May 2017 and continues to provide an accessible facility where people can participate in sport, exercise and recreational activities. The skatepark is open seven days a week and its activities are designed to encourage participation in sport and physical exercise, supporting healthier and more active lifestyles. The community has benefited from the skatepark's activities in a number of ways: Local residents and people from surrounding areas have access to a dedicated indoor facility where they can exercise, develop their skills and maintain an active lifestyle. Participants are given opportunities to improve their physical fitness while developing confidence, social skills and self-esteem. The skatepark also provides a welcoming social environment which helps to reduce isolation and encourages people to build friendships through shared interests. Popular beginners' sessions continue to be held on Saturday and Sunday mornings. These provide a supportive environment for people who are new to the sports and also enable families to come together, support their children, meet like-minded people and develop new friendships. Children's parties continue to be offered and have grown in popularity, providing children with an enjoyable and active way to participate in the sports offered at the skatepark. School holiday clubs have again been provided during the school holidays. These included a dedicated BMX camp with coaching from experienced riders and British Cycling coaches, together with the introduction of a beginners' day to make the activities more accessible to those trying the sports for the first time. The skatepark again acted as one of the local venues for the school sports week. Primary schools from Blackburn and Darwen attended over four full days, with pupils taking part in BMX, scooter and skateboarding sessions and experiencing sports they may not otherwise have had the opportunity to try. The skatepark continued its beginners' BMX club in conjunction with British Cycling, providing structured opportunities for new riders to develop their skills and confidence. A special event was held giving members of the community the opportunity to ride alongside BMX Olympian Declan Brooks, providing participants with an inspirational experience and encouraging continued participation in the sport. The skatepark hosted the Red Bull World First Tricks ticket giveaway jam, bringing riders together and encouraging participation and engagement within the local riding community. Family Friday sessions have continued, allowing parents and carers to ride free alongside their children. These sessions encourage families to be active together and make participation more affordable and accessible. Terry Price scooter camps were facilitated by the skatepark and proved very popular, giving young riders further opportunities to develop their skills. The skatepark hosted the "Spanner Day", involving a YouTube creator who is particularly popular with younger riders. The event encouraged young people to engage with the skatepark and participate in active recreation. The skatepark has also continued to act as a community venue, including hosting visits involving the local MP and council representatives, helping to showcase the facility and the positive impact it has on the local area. Overall, Junction 4 Skatepark continues to provide a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment in which children, young people, adults and families can participate in sport and physical activity. Its activities promote physical and mental wellbeing, confidence, social interaction and community engagement while providing opportunities for people of different ages and abilities to take part in urban and alternative sports.
The company's stakeholders include people of all ages and abilities from the local and surrounding communities who participate in, or have an interest in, urban and alternative sports including skateboarding, scooter riding, BMX and in-line skating. The company maintains regular engagement with its stakeholders and takes their views and feedback into account when considering the activities, sessions and opportunities offered by the skatepark. As a result of this consultation and ongoing feedback, the following activities and actions have been undertaken: Home Education sessions have continued following positive feedback and demand from stakeholders. These provide home-educated children and young people with opportunities to participate in physical activity and engage socially with others in a safe and supportive environment. Following engagement with users of the skatepark, dedicated evening sessions have continued for the different sporting disciplines. Where appropriate, alternative nights are provided so that BMX, scooter and skateboard users have suitable opportunities to use the facilities. Scooter competitions have continued in response to demand from stakeholders. This included the return of the International Core Competition, which was well attended and provided riders with an opportunity to participate in a competitive event and engage with the wider scooter community. At the request of stakeholders, the skatepark has continued to facilitate Duke of Edinburgh's Award volunteering opportunities, enabling young people to undertake volunteering activities and develop their skills and experience. The skatepark has continued to accommodate BMX Olympic Team training. This also provides members of the local community with the opportunity to see elite-level riders training and to engage with and be inspired by participants at the highest level of the sport. The company has continued to support the wider local community, including making donations to two local schools in support of their fundraising events. Overall, stakeholder feedback continues to influence the activities provided by the company. This ongoing engagement helps ensure that the skatepark's sessions, events and wider community activities remain relevant to the people who use the facility and continue to support the company's community objectives.
