Well, it looks like they’re going ahead with Phase 2 now…
Thanks to some outspoken skateboarders and local citizens, the builders have been given the go-ahead to add a 16-foot kidney shaped skate bowl.
“The original estimate involved only a plaza, but skateboarders and skaters at a public forum encouraged the city to make the park more challenging with a bowl.”
—Lisa Clayton, City Parks Director
- The kidney-shaped skate bowl will be built by California Skateparks.
- Plans are for the skate park to be completed by August 31st.
