NEWBIRD

One of the first DIY skate spots / parks in the UK, a famous 'wasteland spot’ dating back to  1998, featured in many UK & US magazines and videos. 

 

Building began again in 2005, gathering local support and momentum through self-funding and local business contributions. It is imbued not only in Liverpool’s skateboarding history but also more widely in cultural significance. 

 

Time has taken its toll on the spot and through threats of demolition, the dedicated crew of around 20, have continued to fundraise and raise awareness of the spot to ensure Newbird is around for many generations of skaters to come.
