Our spaces are of benefit to a mixed demographic of young people, the parents of the young people taking part and the wider community by providing safe spaces and meaningful activity. Our aspirations are to be able to offer free skateboarding lessons to people who may not have the means to pay for lessons. We will teach more people how to build skateparks to the appropriate British Standard that are safe to use. These skills we hope will help people who may be disengaged, perhaps unemployed and these transferable skills we hope will allow people to perhaps enter work spaces that they would not have previously had experience in. The gardening aspect of our projects is important we intend to encourage people to learn gardening skills, in particular for themselves and to help maintain and create green spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892fd51acb1064cfe45549/21d904bd-acc3-41d3-9a76-74903d5dbfb9/IMG_3198.jpg Home - Why Skateboarding Now an Olympic sport Skateboarding is a growing sport, and is a sport with a strong and growing record in attracting new people into physical activity and, in particular, working effectively with young people and under-represented groups. Skateboarding is very accessible. The type of youngsters who take up skateboarding tend not to engage with football, cricket, golf, running, cycling, etc. and are currently missing out on the various initiatives being delivered by other providers. Skateboarding provides a lively, vibrant and diverse scene dominated by a youth population. The majority of skateboarders are aged between 11 and 16 with approximately 85% male participation. That said, skateboarding is providing an increasing number of girls with a channel to engage with sports and activity and has seen a 24% increase in the last year. These people will benefit from a skatepark as currently there are limited community environments for skaters to use in Birmingham. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892fd51acb1064cfe45549/5b552745-c340-4c2e-9a0a-6ff31ddebf40/Screen+Shot+2021-01-23+at+12.23.02.png Home - Who are we?

Bournbrook wall has a history for graffiti, artists, creativity. It is behind an old bowling green, turned soldiers sanctuary after WWII, in a prime city location on the Selly Oak High Street. The site had been allowed into managed decline, neglected, overlooked, overgrown. It was becoming a disused, unsafe, unsightly and insecure plot on the city parks estate, called ‘muggers alley’ by local residents. It had no identity, no purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892fd51acb1064cfe45549/5c57e151-f0f8-4cff-b019-2dfd1e21aff7/IMG_2610.jpg Bournbrook - Build it. At first a small group, young people giving their time and using their energy to work on the repair of a wall, a fence, a path. Levelling the flat surface, digging out the weeds, scraping off the layers of dirt, daily sweeping and wheeling barrows. Then building a feature, one skatable feature, a grind box to play on https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892fd51acb1064cfe45549/f02c8e9c-1fdf-47f6-94ac-3676fd55a946/Screen+Shot+2020-10-31+at+15.55.12.png Bournbrook https://www.birminghamskatespaces.co.uk/vision daily 0.75 2021-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892fd51acb1064cfe45549/377f0248-728a-48ab-8f3a-71e6c825c8a8/246441166_400706978376963_2796056483961843081_n.jpg Vision - It’s all about space – physical and mental Skaters need space… Space to ride, space to think, space to meet others, space to be themselves. Physical space may be important but the wellbeing side of space can't be ignored. In fact its at the heart of what we're trying to create - wellbeing and a healthy community through skateboarding. https://www.birminghamskatespaces.co.uk/materials-for-learning-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-13 https://www.birminghamskatespaces.co.uk/support-for-communities daily 0.75 2025-05-13
