Turning out for the event were some of the country’s leading skaters.

People travelled from as far afield as Belfast, Southampton, and even France, for the launch, which included an amateur and a pro skate contest.

The outdoor plaza allowed skaters and BMX riders the ability to perform in a street environment.

The scheme was financed by £200,000 from Lincolnshire County Council and £100,000 from Lincolnshire Enterprise.
