Britannia Skate Park Opening - The New Community Spot in Rowley Regis
On 8th March 2026, Sandwell Council officially opened the upgraded skate park, designed and built by Maverick Skateparks. Following the postponed launch in February due to snow, the new opening date was highly anticipated, with regular requests for updates from eager riders wanting to try out the new spot. With the new date set and the weather looking more promising, SkateHut headed over to Britannia Skate Park with goodie bags and freebies, which included scooter grips, grip tape and skate wax, in hand to celebrate.
From 11am, the ramps and rails were already in use by eager riders, and as the day went on, more skateboarders and scooter riders trickled in, putting the park through its paces. With local talent showing off their skills, a crowd of spectators soon gathered, in awe of the backflips and tailwhips on display. It didn’t take long for more curious kids to come over for a closer look at the show put on by the riders, while also picking up some souvenirs handed out by SkateHut.
“This addition to Britannia Park really brings life and excitement to the area. We rarely see skate parks of this quality, so it’s very unique. There’s no doubt it will become a hub for children and teenagers to socialise adding a positive point of interest for the community of Rowley Regis.”
