Local Estate Agent makes generous sponsorship donation

 Local estate agent Hose Rhodes Dickson are to sponsor the Freshwater skatepark and pump track project with a generous donation – and that may be just the start.

Hose Rhodes Dickson, who will be opening a branch in the village – their eighth on the Island – in late August, have confirmed they will be making a generous donation to the Freshwater skatepark and pump track. This goes a long way to helping Freshwater Parish Council match the funding they have dedicated to the project.
The first year should see the pump track taking shape on Stroud playing fields, followed by a new skatepark to replace current facilities on land near Moa Place.
A regular sponsorship from Hose Rhodes Dickson could follow the development phase as a contribution towards such costs as maintenance and staffing.



Peter Barfoot, senior negotiator at the Freshwater branch said: “We are really excited to open our Freshwater office and become part of the vibrant West Wight community. The Freshwater Skatepark will be a real asset to the area, providing a dedicated place for all ages and ability to enjoy, plus the pump track will be a huge draw for local tourism. We are pleased to be involved with the project from these early stages and can’t wait to watch the plans unfold and see people enjoying themselves.”
Skateboard GB’s research shows a striking correlation between people who skate and their improved mental health, with reduced stress and boredom, increased confidence, escapism, and a coping mechanism for emotions.
Health benefits of skateboarding include the use of most parts of the body and can burn up to 600 calories an hour. It is also great for balance, toning muscle, building muscle strength, and helps in co-ordination.

Freshwater Parish Council recently approved a plan to build a new Skatepark and a Pump Track at Stroud.  Freshwater skatepark is coming to the end of its life with repairs and upkeep becoming increasingly costly. The current skatepark has served its purpose and has always been popular, but it’s design and location doesn’t fit with current thinking.  The proposal is to build something that has a long life, is sympathetic in design to its surroundings, an asset to the community and something for all riders and ages to enjoy. The design of the park must be challenging for the most proficient riders but also have an area for beginners and small children. The design of the park will accommodate all riders (Skateboard, Scooter and Bikes etc), have a long life and be attractive and welcoming to all. With careful landscaping and planting we will create a park where families can have a picnic, where people want to come and spend time to watch, will participate or both. Investment in the younger
