Benton City Skate Park
- Status
- Funded in 2003
This development project in Benton County creates an active use play area for youth. The Benton City Council was approached by many local youth requesting the construction of a skate park. The Council approved the idea and has dedicated a portion of an existing city park for the proposed site. The local asphalt company has since offered to donate labor and equipment to perform all of the necessary earthwork on the project. The City will use this generous donation for the local matching share. The skate facility will consist of an 80 foot by 120 foot multi-level concrete slab. Proposed features include rails, stairs, half-pipe and quarter pipe ramps, and other assorted ramps that will be movable. Amenities will include lighting, landscaping, fencing, a walkway, signs, and benches. Additional funding through a commemorative brick drive is being spearheaded by the City Council and the youths. Each donor will have an inscription engraved on a brick that will be incorporated into the pathway to the skate facility.
Location
Exit off of the I-82 freeway at the Benton City exit (Exit 96). Head north, crossing the Yakima River, and travel along SR-225 until you reach Wolfies Drive-In. Once at Wolfies, make a right turn into the park, where there is a paved parking lot and tennis courts. Site is on the east edge of the parking lot.
