Ringwood should have a new skate park by next summer.
Town councillors have agreed with young skaters that the park at Carvers needed replacing.
The new floodlit concrete park will cost around £180,000 and it is hoped that designs will be finalised and planning permission granted in January, with work starting in March.
Funds from section 106 developers’ contributions will be used to pay for the new park with young skaters fund raising to make a contribution.
Young people will help design the skate park which received unanimous backing from the town council.
