Old Skatepark Rehabilitation
Location: 545 Gifford Street – Trotting Park
Applicant: Recreation Department
Allocation: $500,000
Year/Article: April 2024/Article 28
The Falmouth Recreation Department will rehabilitate the Old Skatepark at Trotting Park by repairing cracks in the concrete surface and adding new jumps and rails. The project will fill a community need and provide a public benefit by making safety improvements as well as updating the well-used skatepark with new features. The 2015 Vue Works Condition Rating Report found the Old Skatepark equipment, grounds, structures and surface to be in fair condition. The features have deteriorated further since that time and, without improvements, the skatepark would have been closed due to safety concerns.
