SKATE PARK

Now that the new aquatics center is up and running, the old community pool is ready for a new life. Maintenance costs and safety concerns make conversion an attractive option.

PROPOSED: This rendering shows a potential use of the site that takes advantage of the existing pool. Pool-to-skate-park conversions are a relatively common solution for older pools. After installation, the maintenance costs are very low, and community use tends to remain high. Skate obstacles are also available in a range of prices: from build-it-yourself to prefabricated pieces to custom concrete forms, there are options for any budget. Skate parks can also be used with roller skates, BMX bikes, and scooters. The existing building is updated with a color palette matching other park buildings and the snack bar window open for business.
