New Skate Park Opening

Young people in and around Over, Cambridgeshire are celebrating the opening of the significantly improved skate park thanks to a £100,000 grant from FCC Communities Foundation.

The Over Skate Park, located at the Over Community & Conference Centre, will be officially up and running following its launch at the Over Community Fun Day on 14 June 2025.

Cllr Grange of Over Parish Council believes the facility will make a huge difference to the lives of people living in the area and is particularly grateful to OSKA (Over Skate Park Association) for all their support with driving the project forward.

Cllr Grange says: “This project will provide a real boost to the young people of Over. It’s fantastic that FCC Communities Foundation awarded us this money and we’re really looking forward to our skate park taking shape over the next few months”

FCC Communities Foundation is a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community projects through the Landfill Communities Fund.

Cheryl Raynor, FCC Communities Foundation Grant Manager, says: “We’re delighted to have supported the project and pleased our funding has helped create an exciting new skate park at the site. The application that was submitted showed a high level of local support for the project and a great deal of work pre-application took place to evidence this. FCC Communities Foundation is always happy to consider grant applications for projects that make a difference to local communities and we’re really looking forward to seeing this one take shape soon.”
