Thousands have campaigned against plans to move the site.
Undercroft skate park will find out next week if their application to register as a town or village green is valid.
Lambeth Council’s Corporate Committee will meet on 11 July to decide whether the application is valid or not, a decision entirely separate from the current planning application.
The attempt to register the South Bank skate park as a town or village green has been received from Long Live Southbank as part of their attempt to stop it being demolished.
If successful, the space would be declared as a registered significant cultural site which would allow it to be preserved and continue its legacy.
A new site has been promised for the park, which may be removed as part of the centre’s £120m Festival Wing, but many are unhappy about the idea of moving to the proposed new location of Hungerford Bridge.
A petition has attracted thousands of signatures and a festival was held at the Undercroft in May to raise awareness about the campaign.
