Spot Check - Tram Line Spot, Nottingham

Nottingham’s 'Tram Line Spot' officially opened earlier this year, making it one of only a few purpose-built public spaces that actively encourages skateboarding in the UK. It is the first to be located right in the city centre, designed and led by skateboarders.
Skate Nottingham worked tirelessly for more than three years to make TLS a reality, delivering design workshops, events and engaging with the community in endless inclusive coached skateboarding sessions before undertaking a highly successful Crowdfunder campaign, among so much more, making this project skateboarder-led from start to finish. To watch the full ’Spot Check’ head to the link in the bio.
Huge thanks to #tnlcommunityfund and #dcmsgovuk for funding this as part of the #MillionHours summer holiday campaign, which has included DIY obstacle-building workshops, filming, screen-printing, and sessions with local planters and growers #grownotts to demonstrate further how skateboarding can make cities greener, safer and kinder places.
Skate Nottingham would like to take this opportunity to give a special thanks to Townsend Landscape Architects and Betong LTD for their vision commitment and hard work, plus #skateurbanism heroes Bedir Bekar, #floda31drc, #david_a_gough, #gyrosviita and #dent_face, all the local skaters, advocates and allies, international collaborators and friends and everyone at My Nottingham and lead contractors Thomas Bow for believing in and seeing through this incredible project.

It's a great spot used to go there so often for long long hours and the people who skate are great super chill however in recent times its become a haven for roadmen and not just ones that are annoying ones that will genuinely Rob you four weeks four robberies it's not worth going anymore sadly avoid it especially after four there's always people with knives down there now scary place to be
