NOW OPEN!
A landmark project for Maverick on Hove Seafront.
This meticulously crafted street plaza, a five-year labour of love, is now a reality.
A huge shoutout to everyone who made this park possible:
The council, the project steering group, numerous contractors, and a vibrant community.
Hove is officially on the map đź“Ť

““It’s amazing to see the buzz this has created. There were hundreds and hundreds of people all out enjoying themselves in the first weekend, all different ages.””
Liam Teague
Part of the group consulted on the new skatepark
““I don’t think I have ever seen a council project that has been so praised. We have had emails and messages from people saying thank you so much, and this is wonderful. I don’t think we anticipated how well this space would be received from older and younger people. I think it is one of the most positive things we have done in a long time.
”As a skater myself, I share the excitement of the skating, skateboarding and BMX communities in the opening of these superb new facilities. We have worked with those communities to make sure we deliver what’s most important to them in the park, and the result looks great!””

The bespoke facility was designed by Maverick together with the local usergroup, led by Skatepark Development Officer Ricardo Magee Atxukarro and Liam Teague to create a park that reflects the needs of the local community.
Forming the heart of the design, a comprehensive mix of street features can be sessioned independently or hit up in a run and are accessible from every direction.
Our park designers were mindful to design the plaza so that the standing spaces don't interrupt the flow of the park while maintaining its street feel, with ample rolling space to enable younger less experienced riders to cruise around whilst staying out of the main run of the park.
