Community Input Sought on Skate Park
Online survey available through September 15
In October, the Danville Town Council will resume discussions over a possible multi-use skate park facility with the town. In order to prepare for the discussions, the Town has opened a survey on Open Town Hall to determine residents’ interest in a skate park facility and a possible location. The survey can be found at https://www.opentownhall.com/7798.
A skate park was first suggested after it was identified in the 2017 Danville Parks, Recreation & Arts Strategic Plan. $20,000 was budgeted in 2017/18 to conduct a skate park feasibility study. The study identified potential locations, as well as what amenities would go into the facility. Information on the study can be found at www.danville.ca.gov/skateparkstudy.
In September 2018, the Town Council accepted the study, but did not recommend a location. The issue was returned to staff to seek further input from the community regarding support for a skate park and examination of possible locations.
The survey will run through September 15, 2019, and all results then presented to the Town Council for their discussion.
