peacehaven skatepark
A recognisable skatepark with unique elements. Make time to learn something on the sundial
Located in Peacehaven, this skatepark is one of the best on the south coast of England. CANVAS closely consulted the local steering group in order to reach a final design that was inclusive to all and would remain interesting for many years to come.
The Sundial feature is a useable, working sundial, inspired by the fact that the skatepark sits on the Zero degrees meridian line. The result is a centre-piece that distinguishes the skatepark with its unique and recognisable feature.
Completed in 2015, Peacehaven skatepark consists of over 600m2 of float-finish concrete to create a variety of forms. These include a combi-style bowl, curb island manual pad, and a steep pocketed transition. Perhaps the most striking feature of this skatepark is the sundial centrepiece, comprised of a quarter and a flat bank set back-to-back
