The city of Greenwood has begun construction on the renovated skatepark located in city’s Northeast Park. Work on the $280,000 project is expected to be complete this summer.

In February, the city’s Parks & Recreation board selected Hunger Skateparks to construct the 7,800-square-foot skatepark.

“From start to finish, this project has been a collaborative effort between the Parks department, community members, and industry experts,” said Greenwood Parks & Recreation Director Rob Taggart. “We can’t wait to see the final product and open it up for residents and visitors.”

Plans to renovate the 25-year-old skatepark were first announced in February.

The city says the design will include mini quarter pipes, bowl pockets with jumps, various stair combo sets, and a China bank with a manual, among other features.
