FLO SKATEPARK

After years of speculation, delays, and uncertainty, the team at Flo Skatepark can confirm we are now closed. 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.  The last few weeks were amazing with so much love for what FLO is... its community and culture rather than just a building.

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.
