NEW SKATEBOARD PARK FOR LOUISVILLE The new skateboard park is scheduled to be complete by early summer. This state • of the art park will be constructed just west of the inline rink located next to the s4, Recreation/Senior Center. All II Members of the community, along with a variety of interested skateboarders, have been assisting in the development of the plans for the park. Based on the format of "kinetic art," , the skate park will be built with the landscape that is sunken along Via Appia. Everyone, 1 beginners and experts alike, is sure to find this approximately 13,000 square foot skate park a quality facility. In addition, a new drop off/limited parking area will be built to serve the arboretum, inline rink, and the skate park. Although the Recreation/Senior Center parking lot will continue to serve the majority of visitors to the area, this new limited parking area will be available to assit individuals who are dropping off equipment and people close to these amenities. Also, a bridge will be established from the parking area to the Louisville Arboretum. This bridge, which will be located to the south of the parking lot, will allow individuals the opportunity to wander through the soft surface trails that connect the arboretum to this new central area. This bridge will become the formal entry point for the Arboretum. If you would like to review the concept plan for the entire site, please stop by the Recreation/Senior Center. In addition, up to date information on the development of the skate park is available at our consultant's web page at wwwdcla.net/lvsk8/lvsk8.htm.
