Social or anti-social?
By Tash West
My experience of Newhaven skate park is that it is a very social place where people meet. The skate park is a very busy place in the summer, a place where everyone likes to be with their friends and have a good time whilst watching some of the boys demonstrate their skate-boarding or skating tricks on the ramps.
In the background of the last picture you can see the the Newhaven football stand where the local football clubs, Seahaven Harriers, Newhaven Panthers and Newhaven F.C. play their home matches
I always found the stand a very friendly place and very exciting to watch the action from, especially when my uncle used to play football, and my grandad used to referee.
Cricket is another sport played here on the pitch in the recreation ground and these matches attract people from other local towns who come to watch their team members play.
The Shakespeare Hall is also close by on the edge of the recreation ground and an after-school club called N.I.P.P.E.R.S. is held here to cater for children of those parents who work late and need their children to be looked after.
