| Rampage skatepark N' Ireland: July 1st Mon '02 | |
| "Rampage
has been forced to abandon work in Newtownards. There are a number of
reasons for this course of action. The residents of Newtownards formed a
petition against the opening of the park and a increase of violent
break-ins jepordised our expensive ramps. All membership cheques that
where sent to us have not been cashed and at your instructions by email
can be destroyed or we can hold them for you until our move. Please be
assured we will be moving all of our ramps (25000 sq feet of them) to a
new and more suitable location in the coming weeks, for obvious reasons
we cannot give you any more details. Please continue to visit this site
for updates. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Linda
Cleleand (Ards Council & Alliance party member) Who has provided us
with her continual support, she visited our park during construction and
has seen just how much work and how close we were to completion, she is
continuing to help with our relocation plans." http://www.rampagepark.com/ |

| "Waterford
Concil - Rumour - New Skatepark ! 1st June '01 Exactly that .... just a rumour, I don't have any info to confirm this but I'll keep my ears to the ground, I hear that if it is built .... it will be in the peoples park (about 1-2 miles out from the centre of the town to the south), but I also heard that it will be in an area of the regional sports ground (where Waterford United play, but in a different area, it is a fairly big place). It might be a local politian promising the sun moon and stars before the election, who knows." Thanks to Mansfield again
