The City of West Kelowna held an open house Thursday evening to look at plans and hear community feedback for a new skatepark, which was announced earlier this summer.
The budget of $450,000 will lend itself to a skatepark of approximately 10,000 square, and the designers are looking at many different features such as deep bowls and snake runs. For those who couldn’t make it to the meeting to give their opinions, there is an online survey available at westkelownacity.ca/skateparksurvey.
Initial schematic designs are expected to be ready in September or October, at which point they will receive additional feedback to create a final design. The final, detailed design is anticipated to be ready around February with a construction timeline of 12 to 14 weeks, which would have it ready for next summer.
