A fun day is being organised to raise awareness of the town’s “dilapidated” skate park.
For four years, Halstead Youth Council has been trying to secure funding to improve the park in Ramsey Road, Halstead.
However, their attempts have been thwarted by a lack of funding.
Keen skater Matt Woodison has previously said the skate park is “dangerous” and said that youngsters travel elsewhere to better parks.
The fun day will be held on Saturday at the park from noon until 5pm.
Entrance is free and activities, including a water slide, tug of war and football, will also be free.
