Hermanus Skate Park is growing bit by bit.
According to Christo (Andreas) Burgers, chairperson of the facility, work recently started with a cement mixer, in which the quarter pipe was completed.
He said: “We poured the entire quarter pipe, around the corner and into the pyramid bank. Thanks to Stuart Walker (Deep End Skate Parks), Joubert van Staden (Session Skateboarding Magazine) and Evan Binge for their professional and financial input.”
He says even though the project had been promised municipal funding several months ago, they have been pushing it along with the help of some local businesses and the dedicated efforts of some select locals.
“With this new addition to the park we expect to see a lot more people at the park, and it should have a positive impact on local businesses due to an increased interest in skateboarding and outdoor sports,” concludes Burgers. “. Join us on opening day Saturday 12th February.”
