New skate park opens

Adrenaline Alley in Corby is one of the country's biggest indoor skate parks.

Corby's newest sporting venue is destined to put the town on the map. Adrenaline Alley is 4,700 square metres of ramps, spectator areas, computer suites, meeting rooms, 'hang out' areas, music practice rooms and live stage areas.

What's more, there's a foam pit, café and an international standard vert/resi ramp - a UK first.

Who'd have thought all this is in a building which once housed a chicken processing factory.

Here are a few comments by guys who've been testing the new track. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and tell us about what you think of Adrenaline Alley.

"It's important to have a place like this because it stops young people hanging around the streets having nothing to do."

"It keeps us off the streets. It gives us somewhere to hang out. Instead of stealing cars or getting in with the wrong people. You can skate every single day, no matter what weather. "

"This is a great place. The facilities are brilliant. We started very much with nothing. You look around now and see what we've got. It's amazing really. It's got everything you'd want from beginners to pros."
