Leaders say a skate park rebuild is on the way.
Shane Jones told News 5 he's been using the skate park since he was in the seventh grade and said spot repairs at the 20-year-old facility are just not enough to ensure safety. Jones said the city has been promising to replace the park for years, but each year there's been little action.
“They make temporary repairs, but a couple more runs and it’s popping back out, you’ve got screws coming out. I went up, turned, and a nail caught my wheel. I hit the ground, looked back up and there was my board still on the ramp.” “I am very grateful that we have a skate park in general," Weissman said. “There’s so many weird little bends that screws are going to come pop out. The eggshell, I won’t go near, the thing is dangerous. There’s so many of these little like, it’s just terrifying to me.""I’m afraid to use the park, I’ll skate around the flat pieces, but I don’t use any of the ramps," Jordan said.
“We’re going to go back to the commission to get legislation to actually purchase and install this equipment, as well as some amenities like shade structures. It will probably be up to a 12-month period that it will actually take to order and get the equipment because a lot of things are on backorder and get it installed.”
