Skate boarding, etc

Do you remember ‘some queer objects’ that appeared on The Green at the end of 1979. Telstar of November 1979 described them as looking ‘like a mini assault course, but was in fact a childrens’ adventure playground’ it had been erected by Stowmarket Round table and originally intended for the town, but when the town council turned it down it came to to Stowupland.

In 2011  a mobile skate park was set up on the tennis courts near the village hall. It had ‘ two bigger kicker ramps, two smaller ramps, a hubba, a grind rail and a manual pad’. The hope was expressed that the plans for Stowupland to have its own permanent ramp would come to fruition ‘really soon’ {Telstar  no.232: May, 2011}
