Our Story

From the outset our group has been clear that we wanted to ensure there is a lasting legacy and impact in the community from what we do. We also believe this project can play a significant role in reinvigorating Ivybridge and contributing towards its identity. The first step in this process is to ensure we have the right facilities here in Ivybridge.

The vision is of a multi-purpose space – a social project, managed for the benefit of the local community. The plans will incorporate ground-breaking concrete curves that have been expertly designed by one of the UK’s finest urban sports designers, Jeremy Donaldson. Jeremy has designed more skateparks in the UK than anyone else and now works internationally with Curve Studio; a company that shares the same vision as SSD – to create active spaces in harmony with nature and community. The plans also include a café, community hub, events space, a workshop and storage.

We are currently working hard to setup our skateboard coaching programme for young people in Ivybridge whilst also continuing our programme of engagement and community events. Here we will be trying to document our story as it evolves….
