Hitch a trailer loaded with skate ramps, skateboards, BMX helmets and pads and bring some fun activity to your local playground. That’s what they’re doing in Worcester…
Thanks to a 10,000 pound grant from the Big Lottery Fund, the Worcester Play Council is employing a Land Rover loaded with skate equipment, along with a team of four extreme sport enthusiasts, to bring sports to kids aged 5 to 16. The team is there to teach new skills, keep everyone safe, and encourage kids to get involved in a fun physical activity.
The Land Rover gives them room and mobility; the group plans to put on 42 events throughout the year.
Now that’s a darn good idea. Maybe someone who reads this will get one started here in the States…?
