The UK's oldest skate park is raising money to refurbish its outdoor ramps.

The Pioneer Club in St Albans has launched a Crowdfunding project to raise £10,000 to replace its worn-out outdoor ramps for the summer season.

Trustee Rodney Clarke is fronting the appeal. As a schoolboy Rodney helped build Pioneer's first ramps in 1987, making it the oldest indoor skate facility in the UK.

Chairman, Ann Brooks, said: "It is imperative for the charity that the park is used year round in order to stay open.

"We offer a supervised environment for our users, as well as tuition to ensure all young people are able to reach their skateboarding potential. We have very high hopes for this appeal.”
