A “first of its kind” school skatepark has officially opened.
Top riders presented the new facility at Folkestone Academy, Kent, to the local community during an event on Saturday that drew in hundreds of people.
The academy, part of Turner Schools, says it hopes the park will offer young people a safe, controlled environment to develop their skills, build confidence and exercise more.
A spokesperson for Skateboard GB, the national governing body for skateboarding in England, told the BBC it was the first concrete skatepark in a school with a bowl.
