More than 50 sites were considered

The Government of Jersey has put forward plans for a new skatepark.

It would initially be located at the top of South Hill in St Helier, and eventually be moved into the redeveloped Fort Regent site - which is due to be completed in 2028.

The plan is for the new park to be built behind the boxing gym, according to a planning application.

The application said that once the skate park had been moved into Fort Regent, the vacated space would be used for a cycle park.

Andy Jehan, Jersey's infrastructure minister, previously said more than 50 potential sites for the skate park had been looked at.

In 2023, a £1.9m concrete skate park opened in Les Quennevais.
