Lakewood Skate Park
- Status
- Funded in 1999
Lakewood is one of the state’s newest incorporated areas. It is a youthful city, with a third of its 65,000 residents under age 18. Through a city-appointed Youth Council, Lakewood’s youth have been consistent advocates of a skate park within the City. To help address those needs, the City is requesting WWRP funding for development of a skate park within Ft. Steilacoom Park, a regional facility next to Western State Hospital. The project is a joint venture with Lakewood and Pierce County Parks. This state-of-the-art structure serving skaters of all skill levels, will be a regional attraction, serving not only Lakewood, but the cities of Steilacoom and University Place as well. The project has received a tremendous amount of support with more than $37,000 in private donations to date.
Location
I-5 to the Bridgeport Way exit.
