BROMSGROVE skatepark users are being encouraged to take part in a new public consultation.

Launched by Bromsgrove District Council, the consultation is gathering feedback on proposed improvements to the skateparks at Sanders Park and St Chad's Park.

The council is seeking input from all users, including skateboarders, BMX riders, scooter users, inline skaters, plus families and residents, to better understand how the facilities are used and what changes would make the most impact.

Councillor Shirley Webb, cabinet member for health and wellbeing, leisure and culture, said: "Our skateparks are important community facilities, they provide opportunities for people of all ages to be active, socialise and learn new skills.

"We want to hear from as many users as possible to help us understand what improvements would make the biggest difference.

"Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their views."

Residents are invited to complete a short online survey via: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/BDCSkatepark2026/

The consultation closes at midnight on September 14.

People can also attend one of two drop-in events to discuss suggestions in person with council representatives.

The events will take place at Sanders Park Skatepark on Friday, September 4, from 3pm to 5pm, and at St Chad's Park Skatepark on Tuesday, September 8, from 3pm to 5pm.
