Harpenden charity PARC (Playpark Action Rothamsted Committee) has appealed for donations and sponsors to help achieve their goal of redeveloping Rothamsted Park's skatepark.

Overall, a £250,000 budget is needed for the project, with Harpenden Town Council already committing £100,000 to the cause.

The remaining £150,000 is set to be raised by PARC through fundraising initiatives.

A spokesperson for the charity added: "PARC is asking local businesses to sponsor the skatepark.

"Any donation would be welcome, but if businesses can donate £2,500 their company name and logo will be put on a sponsor board to be located next to the new skatepark.
