Gnarly! Freshly bowled Lakewood Skatepark reopens on 70-degree day
@Source: cleveland.com
LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- Ams, thrashers and, yes, even posers who’ve been waiting all winter to drop-in at the redesigned Lakewood Skatepark finally got their chance on Friday.
The weather and calendar aligned for the park to kick off its 20th season on the warmest day of the year so far, with temperatures set to crest 70 degrees.
The park, built in 2005, closed following Labor Day last year to undergo the long-awaited second phase of its construction, which included adding a bowl, a second grinding rail and a “taco” -- a small, rounded quarter pipe that resembles the shell of its crunchy namesake.
The city last year hired California Skateparks to design and build the skatepark’s $550,000 makeover. The company has designed skateparks and courses across the world, including for the last two Summer Olympics in Paris and Tokyo.
The skatepark is located inside Lakewood Park.
The park’s tennis courts, which were also closed due to construction traffic, also reopened on Friday.
