  • In 2002, the SK8MK project started with the aim of tackling tensions surrounding skateboarding and the need for an area in the city that was dedicated to skating. Proposals from the skate community led to the Central Bus Station being earmarked. No longer used, it had long since been a popular spot for skaters thanks to the concrete infrastructure and open spaces. It was agreed that 'The Buszy' – as it became known – needed to reflect the popular skate spots of the city. Local skateboarder Rob Selley and designer Richard Ferrington led the project, and when finished in 2005, The Buszy became the first purpose-built skateboard plaza in the world. (en)
