Helston Skatepark is to close following increased national lockdown measures, it was announced by Coronation Park.

Indoor and outdoor skateparks will be forced to close under the new measures which has been argued by Skateboard England and Skateboard GB.

Coronation Park confirmed it will reopen again on Thursday 3rd December.

The news was shared by the park with a statement by Skateboard England reading:

"Skateboard England and Skateboard GB have sought guidance from and argued the case for exemptions from the Government for skateboarding, due to the ability to take part, while social distancing. Unfortunately, the increased national lockdown measures will force the closure of all indoor and outdoor skateparks.

"We know this is hugely disappointing news but we must all pull together as a community and continue to follow the Government guidance to keep ourselves and each other safe."
