Ribbon-cutting took place Monday, August 24 for the new skatepark in Brookings.
Brookings Mayor Ope Niemeyer said this park represents a collaboration between skaters and city park and rec.
Assistant Park and Rec Director Josh Bauman said the park helps enhance the whole area.
Brookings resident and avid skater Nick Curry said the park is for skaters of all ages and ability levels.
The new skatepark is the result of a $315-thousand renovation approved by the Brookings City Council last year and shaped through a series of community input sessions. New artwork for the park is also planned through support from the Brookings Public Arts Commission.
