Grand Haven approves $500,000 skate park

After delays last summer, the City of Grand Haven is moving forward with the construction of a new skate park. The 13,700 square foot park is made possible in part by nearly $179,000 in state grant money.

According to excerpts from the story:

The construction of a $500,000 concrete skate park on a dune near the Tri-Cities Family YMCA is under way.

The new park will allow the use of BMX stunt bikes. It will replace a nearby asphalt skate park with wooden ramps that was built in 1997.
