CCTV cameras planned for new skate park at High Green

Lights and CCTV cameras will make it safer for children and deter vandals

A new £45,000 skate park in Sheffield which opened in October this year, plans to make the children’s area safer by installing lights and CCTV cameras.

The skate park is located in High Green’s Angram Bank Park and took three years to complete but officially opened to the public on Saturday, October 15. The event was attended by families from the local community and was created to provide youngsters in the area with a safe place to play and spend time with their friends.

One of the people behind the new project, Dave Ogle, aged fifty, said the main reason for creating the park was to help reduce crime in the area and provide a safe environment for children to spend their time.

The new project got local children involved in the design and planning of the park. Megan Moxon, aged 17 and regular park user said: “It was great that they let us design it, it really makes it more for the community.”

Lights and CCTV cameras are part of the next phase of the development, ensuring the area is a much safer place for the children to be and to deter criminals and vandals.

Mr Ogle confirmed that lights and CCTV are definitely part of the next phase, helping to deter vandals and criminal activity.
