We are asking
We're improving Wicor Recreation Ground Skatepark in Portchester, and your opinion matters. We asked you to review the two designs and pick the one you think will bring the most fun to our community.
As a thankyou for your participation we also offered you the chance to enter a prize draw at the end of the survey to win a £50 Bored of Southsea voucher!
The consultation was open until 10 June 2026.

You said
From 15 May to 10 June, we carried out a consultation on two proposed designs for the Stubbington and Wicor skate parks.
Overall, this was a highly successful campaign, with 520 residents voting for their preferred design.
The consultation included a mix of pop-up events, in-person engagement sessions, and online participation opportunities. Fareham College also supported the process by hosting voting boxes on site.
We did
The replacement of the Wicor Skate Park in Portchester started on Monday 20 September. This park will have a street-influence design and features will be organised around a central spine that links two distinct zones: a transition zone anchored by a halfpipe at one end, and a street section at the other. Designs include:
- A halfpipe/mini ramp
- Extended quarter pipe
- Roll over
- Flat bank
- Raised platform
- Level change driveway
- Grind rail
- Hubba ledge
- Flat bank
- Quarter pipe
These elements are arranged to allow natural lines and combinations rather than isolated obstacles, responding directly to consultation.
