Nottingham's Iconic Flo Skatepark Set to Close, Plans for Future Underway

After years of speculation, delays, and uncertainty, the team at Flo Skatepark can confirm its closure at the end of this year. The skatepark, our beloved hub for the local skateboarding community, will make way for the construction of the new Trent Footbridge, a project plagued by delays but now set to proceed.

Flo's residency officially ends on 22nd December with demolition scheduled for February or March. Ahead of this, the team has planned farewell events on December 21 and 22, 2024, to celebrate the park's legacy and the community it has fostered. More details announced soon.

A Legacy to Celebrate

Flo Skatepark has been a cornerstone of Nottingham’s skateboarding scene, nurturing generations of skaters and fostering a sense of camaraderie through its events, music sessions, and teaching programs. Since 2018 tens of thousands of registered users have used the park, with some of our fondest memories being of our volunteers passing on their skills to the next generation.

What’s Next for Flo?

The Flo team is committed to ensuring the city’s skateboarding scene remains vibrant. Plans are underway to transition into a new indoor space in Nottingham no later than September 2025, ready for the next winter season. We will aim that the new facility will have all the features of Flo, a new street area, a bowl and a move indoors for the vert ramp, aiming to serve as a new hub for skaters and the wider community.

Long-Term Vision

Beyond the short-term relocation, Flo is exploring options for a permanent home, with discussions underway for two potential long-term sites. The team is working with consultants and architects to develop a robust business plan and ensure financial sustainability.

Community Support Needed

As Flo prepares for its next chapter, the team is engaged with SBGB and other stakeholders. Watch out for collection boxes in Flo to support the deconstruction and storage of the ramps, and a Crowdfunder to support the move to a new location launching in late-January 2025.

Farewell but Not Goodbye

The closure of Flo marks the end of an era for Nottingham’s skateboarding scene, but its legacy will live on. As the team prepares for the transition, they are confident that Flo’s spirit will carry forward into its next home.

For updates on the relocation and how to support Flo’s efforts, stay tuned to their social channels and website.

Flo Skatepark: More than a place to skate – a community, a culture, a legacy.
