HUGE crowds gathered for the launch event of a new skate park.

Residents and visitors of all ages got their wheels in motion and headed down to the official opening event for Southend’s newest skate park – The Skatey McSkateface.

The site welcomed its first set of users on Friday July, receiving lots of positive comments, and the facility has been very popular since with skaters, scooter riders and BMXers filling the ramps each day.
