HAYES Skatepark is off the drawing board and could be on the ground this summer.

The 750sq m concrete park in the Hayes Hawks BMX Club compound in Lake Farm Country Park, Dawley Road includes all the must-have features and a large bowl section.

The project will now go out to tender and construction will take about three months.

The park's designers, Wheelscape, held a consultation and people submitted their thoughts on a selection of possible layouts via the park's website.

Wheelscape's Max Fyfe said: "A close community consultation process is essential for the long-term success of the facility. It's great to work with such a committed group."

Hillingdon Community Trust has committed £50,000 to the project, and Hillingdon Council will contribute £130,000. The Friends of Lake Farm and Hayes Hawks have also been heavily involved.
