adding to folkestone’s growing urban sports culture, the center will accommodate a variety of popular activities including skateboarding and climbing, with the future potential to provide a boxing club. designed to engage with both novice and experienced individuals, the complex includes four storeys above ground, with a roof terrace overlooking the surrounding neighborhood. two undulating floor-plates create a series of skateable bowls, whose sculptural form made visible from below.

the proposals were announced by the roger de haan charitable trust, with public consultations now set to take place.
