Gig Harbor Skateboard Park
- Status
- Funded in 1999
The City of Gig Harbor will use this grant to construct a skate park at its planned civic center. Youth and parents in the area have worked hard to design and support the facility, demonstrated by a standing-room-only crowd of supporters when city officials discussed the facility. The City is committed to addressing the needs of youth and redirecting skateboarding activities from commercial and private properties. With council approval, volunteers and city officials met with the youth to design a park to meet their needs. The concrete surfaced park will be below the surrounding grade and will provide a pyramid, ramps, 1/4-pipe, jumps, steps, railing and a “snake run.” With close proximity to the civic center and law enforcement, the facility will provide a safe community asset. The project has received $20,000 in donations to date.
Location
Adjacent to Henderson Bay Alternative School on Grandview in Gig Harbor. Also accessed off Kimball Drive (Bus Stop across from Burger King Restaurant).
