STEVENS POINT(WAOW)--It's a dream come true for some and after five years of planning, the Stevens Point Skate Park is finally underway.The Skate Park Committee and community volunteers celebrate in Bulkot Park in Stevens Point for the ground breaking ceremony. Committee members says the state-of-the-art concrete structure will be a great new addition for the community.
Jami Gebert a committee member says, "If your city doesn't have a skate park then your whole community is a skate park, so we're really showing the youth of this community our interest and allowing them to perfect their skills. Giving them a place to go and that shows we have an interest in them."
The project will cost over $300,000 but over the course of five years the committee raised money and received donated materials. They plan to have the park finished this fall.
