Colorado Springs New Homes: New Skate Park

Colorado Springs New Homes New Skate Park The Colorado Springs New Homes area will be home to a new skate park thanks to a $120,000 grant from the Phil Long Community Fund and Denver Broncos Charities to the city's Park & Rec department. This according to The Colorado Springs Business Journal Blog, which reports the park will be built in Memorial Park and will "accommodate inline skaters, bicyclists and skateboarders."

I think Colorado Springs is only home to two major skate parks, Gossage Skate Park within the Gossage Youth Sports Complex, and John L. Stone Park by the Briargate YMCA, so building a new one farther south does several things:

- brings the fun closer to home for skaters and cyclists in the Fountain-Fort Carson area

- creates a safe, fun, interest-specific park within the already popular Memorial Park

- caters to an already popular and continually growing demographic

We have plenty of basketball courts, baseball diamonds, soccer fields and running tracks in the Colorado Springs New Homes area. So the addition of the new skate park will level the playing field, in a way, and will give many people without a nearby skate park a place to spend their free time with friends and other like-minded individuals. While there is no word as to when the park will open, I think we can probably anticipate its opening by next spring, assuming plans are put into motion very soon.
