Quispamsis is going to build a skateboarding park to be located on Landing Court near the Arts and Culture Park with construction to begin in the fall. The final design and what it will eventually cost isn't known yet.
Robin Parks was a driving force behind building a skateboarding park and as for what it will look like, she says that will depend on what the skateboarders themselves want. She tells CHSJ News the skateboarding park in Quispam will be different than what was built in Saint John.
Quispam Mayor Murray Driscoll says the town will contribute 100 thousand dollars for phase one with the province chipping in 50 thousand because this is what the townspeople identified as a recreational need.
There will be an open house Tuesday night 7:00 at the town hall to get feedback on its look and what should be included.
The Mayor says there's a natural slope to the land where the skateboarding and bike park will be built with room for expansion down the road.
