We had a lot of problems taking photographs of the skate park at Rivermead in West Swindon.  We try to avoid having children in our photographs and every time we passed there were loads of them there.  However, on this particular day there was only one boy and it looked like he was packing up to leave, so we got off our bikes and got the camera out ready.  As Mandy started to walk to the top of the ramp some boys appeared and asked what she was doing and asked if they could be in our photographs.  She explained she would need to talk to parents first but they said they were old enough to make their own decisions and would stand in the way because they wanted to be in them, all said in good humour we might add.  So Mandy did take a few with them in.  When we looked at the photographs on the computer later we realised one of the lads was sending us a message!

The park was designed by Wheelscape, costing £60k to build, and was opened at the end of July 2015.  We also took a few photographs of the park during construction and these are further down this page.
