Caldicot Skatepark Development
Maverick Skateparks has been working with Monmouthshire County Council to design an exciting new skatepark shaped by the people who will use it. Through engagement with local riders, skatepark users and the wider community, feedback has directly influenced the final layout, ensuring the facility reflects local needs while providing an inclusive space for all ages, abilities and wheeled sports disciplines.
The design combines a balanced mix of street and transition features, including a dedicated bowl and a welcoming street area connected to the main entrance. This space has been intentionally designed to support younger and less experienced riders as they build confidence, while carefully zoned areas allow beginners, families and experienced users to enjoy the facility safely and simultaneously. Generous spacing between features improves flow and safety, while interconnected zones create opportunities for more advanced riders to enjoy longer lines and transfers.
More than just a skatepark, this project will create a vibrant community space that encourages participation, supports healthy and active lifestyles, and brings people together. By placing local people at the heart of the design process, the finished facility will be a space that the community can be proud to call its own.

Work has started on the new Caldicot Skatepark, part of an investment of around £500,000 in outdoor facilities at Caldicot Leisure Centre. Initial works including drainage has begun, with Maverick scheduled to begin initial skatepark construction during the week commencing 16th November.
The facility is on target to be completed by February 2027.
Shaped by feedback from skatepark users and the wider community, the design includes:
- A dedicated bowl and a mix of street and transition features.
- A beginner-friendly area where younger and less experienced riders can build confidence.
- Seating, pathways, flood lighting and landscaping for riders, families and spectators.
The new facility will provide a welcoming space for different ages, abilities and wheeled sports—somewhere to learn, progress and enjoy being active together.
