There’s another option in town when kids claim ‘there is nothing to do’ on summer break.
A new skatepark in Meadow Lake’s Lions Park is already attracting lots of visitors.
It’s located between Diamond 4 and the track/football field and was constructed by the Canadian Ramp Company. A press release from the city said the new park is designed for all ages and abilities and features many street-style elements including multiple ramps, quarter pipe, and rails.
“Engaging outdoor facilities like skateparks have become quite important in recent times as places to interact and build vital social and interpersonal skills. Wherever there is a skatepark, a community develops around it. These types of communities can help kids who are struggling to identify with team sports a valuable sense of belonging. Every time I drive by the park there are people using it – that’s really great to see,” said recreation manager for the city, Regan Beck.
