Abandoned Bradford sports centre proposed for national skate park

Plans for brutalist Richard Dunn building would turn it into versatile space for recently added Olympic sports

An abandoned sports centre that escaped demolition after being turned into a backup Covid morgue could be in line for a new role as the UK's first national skateboarding park.

Andy McDonald, a skateboarder who was called Rad Dad" after competing in the Paris Olympics at the age of 51, is among those backing the proposals to reinvent Bradford's boarded-up brutalist Richard Dunn sports centre.
