community/cultural
In 2022, local skaters started cleaning up a derelict Tottenham underpass and turning it into a community-built, covered DIY skatepark. Since then, it has been transformed into a free space for skaters, BMXers, roller skaters and anyone else on wheels. As a community of communities, we continue to bring people together to share skills and collaborate creatively, as well as skate.
