Nottingham skatepark patches
Out now!
We’ve designed 3 embroidered patches depicting Nottingham’s Lady Bay, King Eddie’s, and Arnold Bowls skateparks - ready to be sewn onto your bag, jacket, hat, suitcase, or just collected as a souvenir!
Inspired by the American tradition of National Park patches - cloth badges that became souvenirs in the post-WWII boom of tourism around parks that were protected solely for leisure, recreation, and the enjoyment of people.
