City of Newton planning new skate park design

Newton Daily News

The City of Newton is in the process of planning a new skate park design for Aurora Park. The first planning meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Newton Arboretum.

The city invites skaters, BMX riders and anyone else interested to come help contribute to the skate park design. The skate park at Aurora Park currently features two ramps and a rail.

“The purpose of redesigning the skate park is to add more fun features for youth at the park,” Amanda Price, Newton Park Board member, said. “Aurora Park is already one of our busiest parks, so we know there is a demand for more features there.”

People who attend the meeting can give their input as to what the design should look like and what features they would like to have at the park.
