Archaeologists to excavate Glasgow skatepark – with help from skaters

Kelvingrove park is site of Scotland’s first skatepark, Kelvin Wheelies, which has been covered in rubble for decades

Scotland’s first outdoor skatepark – currently buried beneath rubble in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove park – will be excavated next week in an attempt to preserve its legacy.

Archaeologists at the University of Glasgow are inviting volunteers to join them as they begin their excavation and survey work at the former Kelvin Wheelies park, which has been underground for more than three decades.
