The skate park is part of a major restoration plan for the grade II listed park, which is the largest in Preston.

Campaigners have been working for the best part of a decade to have a skate park created in Moor Park.

It has cost £320,000 and has been designed by Freestyle Skate Parks, one of the leading UK skate park firms.
