Skate Park construction leads to delayed opening
Posted on:
The reopening of our skate and action sports park is delayed, as a result of construction. The park is now scheduled to reopen to the public on May 20.
The Town of Sylvan Lake approved upgrades to the Skate and Action Sports Park in the 2020 budget. Based on feedback obtained through the 2019 Skate Park Engagement sessions, this project aims to fix cracks within the park and enhance landscape to prevent debris and litter from transferring onto the riding surface. The project scope will include:
- Detailed cleaning of riding surface
- Concrete repairs and sealing
- Site works - stripping, grading, drainage, and base preparation
- Installation of synthetic turf
- Addition of new park furnishings
- Additional landscaping
Users are reminded of new health and safety measures planned for the park, once it reopens; these new temporary measures include:
- Park supervision; staff on site to ensure public health orders like social distancing, are followed;
- Park hours: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, with 9:00 to noon designated for younger users and beginners, and noon to 8:00 PM designated for all users;
- Maximum 50 users at a time.
