A skate park under the Hindmata flyover at Dadar announced five-years-ago but began construction only late last year has remained locked since its opening in April. The new facility has also been plagued by a leaky roof, causing water to collect on the track. This hasn’t stopped enthusiastic skaters from using the park, with many climbing over the gate to gain access, a report said in this paper. However, the skaters are at risk of getting injured while climbing up or jumping over the gate, apart from the increased danger due to the presence of stagnant water on the track.
A skater said they spend at least an hour cleaning up, before they start skating. We need to see that this park opens in a safe and clean way in double quick time. Much time has elapsed between conception and usage. The park will be ideal for skaters in the rainy season, as open-air skate parks are unusable.
