A £126,000 state-of-the-art skate park is to be opened in Knighton this month.

Saturday, August 24 will mark the realisation of a long held dream for the Radnorshire town where campaigners have fought for over 20 years to build a facility to give youngsters an outlet for their leisure time.

At the 2pm launch of the recreation park next weekend, professional BMX riders and skateboarders will give demonstrations, and there will also be live music, refreshments, stalls, a bouncy castle and more to celebrate the unveiling of the new facility.
