It's been fantastic to see so many children and young people making the most of South Brent Rec Centre over the half-term break! 🛹⚽🏀

Whether it's catching up with friends, getting active, enjoying the facilities or simply having somewhere to hang out, it's great to see the Rec being used and enjoyed by our local community.

The Rec is here for everyone, and seeing it so busy with young people is exactly what it's all about! ❤️

A big thank you to everyone who has been using the facilities and helping to make it such a great community space.

Have a spooktacular Halloween weekend! 🧙‍♀️🕷️🦇🎃

South Brent Rec Centre – a place for our community to come together! 💚

🛹 YOU SPOKE, WE'RE LISTENING— NOW WE'D LOVE YOUR HELP! 💚

A huge thank you to everyone who has commented and shared their thoughts about the future of the skatepark. We’ve had some really great ideas and feedback, and it’s fantastic to see people getting involved.

We’d now like to take the conversation a little further.
We are looking at creating a small Skatepark Focus Group made up of people who use The Rec and care about its future.

The idea is simple:

🛹 Talk to skatepark users about what they would like to see in the future
💬 Speak to other Rec users — especially our younger users — and find out what they would enjoy and use
💡 Gather ideas and different opinions
📣 Bring those views back to the SBRA Committee so they can be considered as we look at the options for the future

This isn't about making decisions straight away and it isn't about deciding whether it should or shouldn't be another skatepark. It’s about making sure that the people who actually use The Rec have a voice in what happens next. ❤️

We'd really like a mixture of people involved — young people, parents, skaters, Rec users and anyone who feels they could bring something useful to the conversation.

👉 Would you like to be part of the Focus Group?
If you’re interested, please comment below or email

[email protected]

Thank you for your continued support it means a lot.

Let's work together to help shape the future of our Rec. 💚🛹

🛹SKATEPARK UPDATE

The skatepark has been a much-loved part of The Rec for many years, but it is now coming towards the end of its life.

The good news is that something new will be created in its place – and we want to hear from the people who actually use The Rec about what you would like that to be!

🛹 A brand-new skatepark?
🚲 A BMX or pump track?
🏀 A new sports area?
🧗 Something for climbing?
🎯 An activity area?
🌳 Something completely different?
💡 Or perhaps you have an idea we haven't even thought of!

There are no silly ideas at this stage! We want to start a conversation and find out what local children, young people, families and other Rec users would actually like.
