It may not look like it, but the the Judkins Park Skatespot is open for grinding.
Though people have been skating there for quite sometime, the $600,000 mini skate park quietly opened officially President’s Day weekend.
The park is still surrounded by fencing, but the entrances are open. Final landscaping work is dependent on warmer weather and should be completed in March.
The city expects to hold an opening event in late May to kick off the summer.

Though i personally won’t use this facility (i can barely roller skate), it’s been really nice to see people using it during the evenings. Makes me feel more comfortable walking through Judkins park at dusk!
It is just great to see so many people having fun. A new use and still tons of space for what we were doing before.
