A popular amenity in Wythogan Park should be open again this spring. The skate park closed last July amid safety concerns over the wood ramps. During a recent appearance on WKVI’s “Grossman in the Morning” Mayor Dennis Estok said upgrade plans are in the works as the Knox Park Board’s funds allow. He says they intend to buy a new piece of equipment each year as funds allow.
Estok adds the full upgrade will take some time, but that doesn’t mean the skate park will not reopen. He says some of the existing equipment will be renovated in the meanwhile.
“We definitely do want to get it going this spring so they can enjoy it,” he said.
The Knox Park Board meets the fourth Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m. at Knox City Hall.
