BURLINGTON, ON
The Maple Skate Park will be closed from Aug. 31 to Oct. 17, 2015 for park improvements.
Construction to update the park will include the installation of a new feature called a “wedge roll-in”; unveiling of the improvements is scheduled for mid-October.
Ward Councillor Blair Lancaster and Mayor Rick Goldring put their political reputations on the line and stand on skate boards. Is there one foot on the ground there?
The improvements to the park were made possible with the support of the GWD Foundation for Kids, the City of Burlington and the Maple Tribute Project community group. They raised more than $10,000 to honour the memory of Andrew McKay, an avid member of the Maple Skate Park community, who passed away in 2013.
This is how they do it.
During the closure, the City’s other skate parks will remain open. Visit www.burlington.ca/parks for locations
