The City of Reading, Pennsylvania, is thrilled to announce the official groundbreaking ceremony for the much-anticipated skate park project. This exciting initiative aims to provide a safe and dynamic space for skateboarders and all action sport enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels to enjoy their passion.
Scheduled to take place on July 6 at 1pm 601 Canal St. Reading, PA, the groundbreaking ceremony will mark the commencement of construction for the state-of-the-art skate park. The event will bring together city officials, community leaders, project supporters, and enthusiastic skateboarders to celebrate this significant milestone.
The skate park project is a collaborative effort between the City of Reading, the Reading Skatepark Association who was the grassroots organization that raised the initial funds to begin this project and local skateboarding advocates who recognize the need for a dedicated facility that caters to the thriving skateboarding and action sports scene in the area. The skate park will be designed to meet the highest standards of safety, while also providing a diverse range of features and obstacles to accommodate different riding styles.
The skate park’s design has been carefully developed to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for riders of all abilities, from beginners to professionals. The layout will incorporate various ramps, bowls, rails, and other features that allow riders to showcase their skills and explore new tricks.
The groundbreaking ceremony will signify the start of construction, with an estimated completion date of July 2024. Once open, the skate park will become a central hub for skateboarding and action sports culture, fostering creativity, camaraderie, and healthy physical activity among the youth and community members.
The skate park project has received significant support from local businesses, organizations, and community members who recognize the positive impact it will have on the city’s youth and recreational opportunities. Donations, sponsorships, and volunteer efforts have played a crucial role in bringing this vision to life.
