Over a transitional period of two decades, Dundee’s skating and biking community finally found themselves a permanent home when The Factory Skatepark opened two years ago.

The driving ethos, one of support for young people has been the force behind the founding of the park and is still very much alive in the day-to-day running of the venue.

 

The charitable foundation has utilised its innovative approach to youth development, sports development and community support, enhancing the popularity of extreme sports in today’s youth culture.  Keen to keep its roots firmly on the street the intentions are to allow young people to develop at their own creative pace but with a strong emphasis on direction and support.

 

The determination that’s characterised the Factory since the word go has seen a whole host of facilities and programmes put in place for everyone; from community youth projects, extreme sports coaching and training to IT suites/gaming centres and homework clubs. 

 

The Factory is now a prime venue on the circuit, attracting high profile national competitions with big names in the professional scene keen to participate.

Events include 6 competitions or ‘jams’ in 2007; two per discipline, Skateboarding, BMX and In-line Skating.    

 

It’s not just a purpose built extreme sports and community centre, the modern building boasts a range of state-of-the-art conferencing and training facilities with everything the local business and community sector should require.  That’s before even mentioning Yoge’sh Restaurant and catering services, which serves up a delicious selection of Indian and western cuisine, from cooked breakfasts to buffets – Indian style.

 

The Factory Skatepark has evolved from the underground skate scene to a modern youth support centre attracting national recognition with its roots firmly placed in the extreme sports culture.  The aim is to continue the ethos in existence yet maintain an innovative approach satisfying the growing interest in extreme sports.
