City seeks ideas for skate park

Leaders with the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department are looking for feedback on proposed improvements to the city skate park in Centennial Park.

City officials will host a meeting at 6 p.m. Friday at the Carnegie Building, 200 W. Ninth St., to hear ideas about how the city can improve the city-operated skate park.

The skate park, located at 600 Rockledge Road, has deteriorated since it was built in 1998. City officials recently have hired a Maine-based design firm to come up with about $125,000 worth of improvements to the facility.

Once a design is settled upon, work is expected to begin later this year.
