Second Chances...and more.
Hi everyone,
It's not too often in life that you get a second chance. Or in the case of a skatepark in Crossville 5th or 6th chances. But Sally Oglesby, the City Clerk, informed me yesterday that the City of Crossville awarded a contract for the concrete pad/lighting/fencing for the skatepark in Centennial Park!!! Looks like there's actually going to be a skatepark in Crossville, and sooner than you think. They are going to do separate bids for the ramps for the park with an actual skatepark contractor.
And that's where we come in. Sally has asked us to provide input to the ramps, help them evaluate the proposals, etc. We both see this as a great opportunity for skaters to get involved in the design of the city park and make it our own. Plus, skaters have a chance to learn something about the way the bid process works, things are built, etc. It's a great chance for skaters to change negative perceptions with the City.
So, we're going to have a meeting for anyone that is interested in learning more about the skatepark and the Association. We'll meet this Sunday at 4:30 p.m. on Oct 28 at Centennial Park by the playground with the basketball courts. We'll walk over to the area where the skatepark will be built and discuss plans for the upcoming year. Hope you (and your parents too) can make it.
Let's make this a new, clean start for the skatepark. Look forward to seeing you there,
