It's been over 20 years since the city last built an outdoor skate park. 'It's kind of unprecedented that we're getting a skate park within a mile distance (of downtown).'
INDIANAPOLIS — Willard Park Skatepark is now open, located just one mile east of downtown Indianapolis on Washington Street.
"It is out there. I mean, it's scary to ride a bicycle to it if you're in downtown," Devlin told WRTV. The Major Taylor Skatepark is nearly six miles away from downtown, where people are most often on their skateboards and rollerblades because it's centralized and, of course, there is plenty of concrete."It's kind of unprecedented that we're getting a skate park within a mile distance ," Devlin said.
"That energy is going to be forever encapsulated into the skate park because that's what made it happen." "Almost everyone that's working right now is a skateboarder," Devlin said during his interview with WRTV at Willard Park.
