Organisation: Barnsley, Parklife Issue Lack of things to do for young people in the local area
The situation: The main issue raised by young people following a consultation event was that there was not enough for young people in the village of Darton to do. Parklife, a group set up to look at ways in which parks in the area could be improved, planned and organised events in several local parks. This included development of a trial skate park. What children and young people said.
"The skate park will be a really important development for young people around this area - not just skaters and BMX riders - but a place for everyone to hang out. The sense of achievement has been really great and I think involving young people from the start has made it more successful because we know what will make it work best."
