Having returned from his life in Germany, Joe Hill couldn't believe that despite his time away there was still nowhere to skate in his hometown of Derry.
Having been on a skateboard 'since he was no age', Mr Hill said he decided that he would take matters into his own hands, building and opening Derry City Skatepark at the Altnagelvin Industrial Estate on the Trench Road.
The indoor state-of-the-art park offers Joe the chance to teach beginners some of the tricks of the ever-growing sport, while also introducing young kids to his passion.
