Construction began on the Town of Sweden’s new skatepark in August, however, it was the first pour of concrete on September 20 that made the mounds of dirt and steel framing start to look like a skatepark. The skatepark is scheduled to be finished late this fall and will be open for use before the end of the year. An opening celebration will be held next spring.
The Skatepark is funded in large part by the Ralph Wilson Jr. Foundation and The Skatepark Project through a $250,000 grant and $50,000 environmental award. Spohn Ranch is the contractor installing the skatepark. The Sweden highway department performed early site work and will help connect storm drainage into the overall park stormwater facilities.
