Royal Wootton Bassett Town Council is excited to announce a big step forward has been taken to delivering a Skate Park in Royal Wootton Bassett, a long-held ambition of the council.  

Following an extensive tender process for the Skatepark Design & Build Project, the Full Council met on Thursday 11^th December 2025 to approve awarding the contract to Maverick Skateparks.  

Now the contract has been agreed, the next step will be working with the team at Maverick Skateparks to assess potential locations and design the skate park, with full involvement of the community. 

Russell Holbert, director of Maverick Skateparks, said: “We are thrilled to be working with Royal Wootton Bassett Town Council to bring an inclusive, contemporary skatepark to the town. Our design team are looking forward to consulting with the local wheeled sports community on features and key design elements for the skatepark in the new year.” 

Thanks to members of the Skatepark Working Group, including residents, skaters and Town Councillors, for their help and support over the past 2 years to get to this point, and for their involvement with the procurement process – and we look forward to working with them on the next exciting stage of this project for our town.  

We hope residents and visitors will be pleased with this news and we look forward to working with the community and Maverick Skateparks to bring a skate park to Bassett! 

There will be regular updates throughout the project.
