Prosser Skatepark - Phase 1

WWRP Applicant: City of Prosser
WWRP Category: Local Parks
Status: Funded in 2003
WWRP Grant: $60,000
Applicant Match: $60,000
Project Type: Development
County: Benton 
Legislative District: 8th 

Description

This project in the Benton County city of Prosser will construct a skate park facility in the existing E.J. Miller Park. Presently there are no public areas or skate parks where skating is allowed within a forty mile radius of Prosser. The lack of a facility has generated property damage and public nuisance issues. In addition to providing much needed recreation, this skate park will help improve relations among area youth, businesses, homeowners, and law enforcement. This safe, drug free environment will make good use of the park's existing facilities including parking, lighting, and a restroom. The park will be constructed of concrete, which is extremely maintenance free. By offering popular recreation activities, the park facilities will combat the lack of recreational opportunities in a rural setting that includes migrant and low income families. Phase One of this facility will include: construction of a series of ramps, benches, and other terrain specific to these sports. Future phases of the project will include the addition of other skating apparatus and park amenities. The park will be free to the public and its design will accommodate both beginning and more experienced skaters.
