    This tender was posted up yesterday. Any local skaters please get involved and get busy making sure this is a decent design.
    The budget for the sports area and skatepark is €200K. The tender asks for concrete whether in situ or precast.

    The Client in this instance is Westport Tidy Towns Committee with Technical support from Mayo County Councils Architects Office and Westport Town Council.
    This contract involves the design supply construction including all ground works and base preparation of one Multi Use Games Area and One Skate Park on Lands under the responsibility of Westport Town Council.
    Q 136 Tender for Design & Build one Multi Use Games Area & one Skate Park - Greenway Recreational Park Westport Co Mayo
    The Site is bordered to the South by the West Road and to the North by the Greenway Linear Walk.
    Tenderers can submit a single proposal for both the MUGA & the Skate Park or one proposal for either the MUGA or the Skate Park.
    3 SKATE PARK SPECIFICATION GENERAL
    The skate park will be constructed from concrete considering a modular system or a cast in situ power floated system. The size of the actual skate park will be determined by the budget, the size of the site, the area proposed for the MUGA and features such as pathways, bridges and roads etc.
    The skate park must be PAS 35 compliant and we will require the company to sign off on this. It is important, due to funding issues, that the skate park is completed as soon as possible.
    The park should contain a mix of features, which could include transitioned bowls and quarter pipes, spine, ramps, flat banks, jump boxes and grind rails/ledges. The concrete will be integrated into the landscape as much as possible with banking or ledges, or consist of precast modular units on a power floated concrete surface. The fencing will comply with the recommended ROSPA/PAS 35 distance from the edge of the skating features.
    A sign will be located at the gate area.
    The final design of the skate park will have to be agreed with Westport Tidy Towns Committee and Westport Town Council. This will mean that there will be a series of meetings with the group. The design phase should be carried out as speedily as possible.

    Does anybody know who is behind this? I am one the the people involved in the campaign for a skatepark in Castlebar and would love to get in contact with whoever is behind this
