Six of the top skatepark builders in the United States submitted bids for the project.  In the end, an interview committee composed of skatepark volunteers and city staff hired Grindline Skateparks out of Seattle, WA as the designer/builder for the new park.  Construction began in late November, 2020.

The Master Plan process involved extensive community input and participation from residents, including public meetings, focus groups, an online survey and work sessions with department staff members. In total, over 750 people shared their feedback. Throughout the community engagement process, we heard that a new skatepark was a priority.

Learn to skate and other skatepark-related programs will be offered beginning in Spring 2022. There may be a workshop as early as Fall 2021. We are looking at partnering with other organizations to host competitions in the future.
