On Monday, May 2nd, there was
a town meeting to discuss the state of the Windham skatepark, and whether to
fix the old one, or create a new one. The meeting was open to the public, and
nothing official has been decided. There were a few teens who use the park that
came to help develop an idea of what they wanted in their skate park.
One option for the new and improved skatepark. |
At this meeting it seemed the best option
would be both concrete and wood. An idea that was also presented was the new
park be created where the bike course section was supposed to be (directly
behind the present one). This is not only to cut down on the noise for the
neighbors, but also may create more space for parking.
There has not been an estimate of a
budget yet, nor a timeline for the creation of a new park. It is a priority for
the committee to reopen what they can of the old park, to offer a place for the
kids to skate again.
The next meeting is projected for Monday,
May 9. Watch for details. Everyone from the community is welcome to come and
participate, especially students who use it and want to suggest ways to make it
better.
