Great news for the long-awaited Skate Park project!
The Ukiah Planning Commission has approved a site development permit for the Skate Parks new location at Low Gap Park between the tennis courts and the Ukiah Player Theater.
The skate park was foremerly scheduled to be constructed on a parcel on Leslie Street, but there were issues with soil remediation.
The Skate Park Committee has raised more than $789,481 with fundraisers and grants. The 20,000 sq. ft. design is ready to go out to bid, and the estimated cost to complete Phase 1 is $998,000. With just $208,519, they can break ground. The intention is to start building this year.
This project is going to be such an asset to our community and I’m very grateful to see it finally getting underway. I think that once it starts to move forward in a tangible way, people will be more likely to help by contributing money to finish it. Kudos to everyone who has held the vision and worked so diligently to make it happen.
