My son, Tim Bottomley, designed and built BeastRampz. His aim was to provide a safe environment for all age groups to enjoy the popular sports of B.M.X. skateboarding and scooter activities. He achieved this to an extremely high standard. A foam pit was installed, a shop for parts, a cafe with seating, and also a small room should there be accidents.
Tim and Mark took First Aid courses and Food Hygiene Certificates.
All age ranges came to the park, grandparents bringing young kids with an interest in these activities, parents encouraging sport and teenagers, instead of lounging around street corners, or in their rooms wasting valuable hours on their computer based interests, were getting fit. BeastRampz was a centre for social activities, shopping for parts which needed to be repaired or changed and with the cafe providing good and wholesome food, a family could spend all day there. A viewing balcony with comfy sofas and chairs so that visitors could relax with a coffee and good book if they wished.
A massive plus also being that Special Needs children had the opportunity to take part. The ongoing advantage amongst other things, was that the able bodied could help and support where necessary. Wonderful competitions were held here, with competitors travelling from abroad. Films have been made there.
And then the combination of a greedy landlord and a stupid council, made it impossible to carry on. Overcharged rents and despicable individuals, you have now ruined such a wonderful asset for the population of Manchester. The only indoor skatepark has closed. If any of you have any conscious at all, you need to reconsider your actions!
