The skatepark will be built at Memorial Park in Padiham
A park in Lancashire is set to get a new £120,000 BMX, skateboard and scooter track as part of a major improvement programme.
Located at Padiham's Memorial Park in Park Road, it will replace a skate ramp built in 1992.
Senior councillors have been asked to approve a contract for the scheme.
Councillor Alan Hosker, leader of the borough's Conservative group, said: "It's welcome to see something for the town's young people."
He said: "Padiham doesn't get much, I fully support it."
The scheme is part of a larger project to develop most of the facilities provided on Park Road including upgrades to the tennis courts and play areas, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
