YOUNGSTERS who have campaigned for a skate park in Richmond will finally have their wish granted on November 1.
The project was launched seven years ago and has endured a number of setbacks.
However, the project now has the support of Richmondshire District Council, financial backing with the help of Richmond YMCA and the commitment of more than 100 youngsters, who pledged to help raise money and ensure the park is not abused once it is open.
It was hoped the skate park would be launched in time for the half-term holiday but problems with delivery kept the equipment in Holland.
Now, an opening ceremony has been planned for 11am on Saturday, November 1.
