The city of LaGrange is considering a public plaza-style skate park at the south end of downtown, on a portion of city-owned property near the Bull and Main streets intersection. The skate park will provide a safe, designated place for wheeled-sport enthusiasts (skateboarders, BMX bike riders, inline skaters, scooter riders, etc.) to develop their skills and enjoy the company of their peers.
Former professional skateboader Kanten Russell is leading the second design meeting set for 6:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 3 at the District 4 Public Health Office, 301 Main St.
Russell will facilitate the session and will also serve as Stantec Consulting’s lead action sport designer of the skate park. He will present design concepts for community feedback.
The skate park will be state-of-the-art, based on the latest skate park design principles and constructed with high-quality materials to ensure durability and longevity. It will feature a mix of street and transition-style terrain, with elements designed for all age groups and ability levels.
