Peg Hill Public Consultation – Open Now!
When Yate Town Council built and opened Peg Hill Skateboard and BMX Park in 2001, it was ahead of its time in providing such a unique, modern and pioneering sports space for the community, with design features such as the below-ground bowl, drawing in skate and BMX professionals and enthusiasts from all over the world.
Now after 23 years of success, Yate Town Council is focused on the future of Peg Hill and invites everyone to have their say on what they want from this facility, for current users and future generations.
