A brief history was presented that outlined the city's attempts <br />• to provide a skate park facility for residents. <br />On May 7, 2001 I met with Dr. John Christiansen, Superintendent of the Centennial School <br />District. After our discussion I was optimistic that the school district would be receptive to <br />providing a 50'x 50' area at the Centennial Middle School for the city to provide a skate park <br />facility. I explained that the city is willing to incur all costs associated with a skate park facility <br />including purchase of the equipment, setup and takedown, maintenance, and a willingness to <br />indemnify the school district from liability. <br />Unfortunately, on May 18, I was informed that that school district was not interested in <br />providing an area for a skate park due to concerns related to potential vandalism. <br />It appears a skate park facility will not come to fruition until the athletic complex is developed. <br />sw /parkbrd /meeting information /Skate Park Update.doc <br />• <br />
