Freedom Skate Park Addition
The Skate Park in Edwards is receiving an upgrade to its existing amenities. 70 feet in length and 50 feet wide, the addition includes a 16 ft. high "cradle". Rick Cook, a local real estate agent who was instrumental in the first skate park, spent more than a year to secure funding for the addition. Contributors include: Berry Creek and Edwards Metropolitan Districts, WECMRD and Eagle County - $40,000 each; Arrowhead Metropolitan District and Edwards Rotary - $5,000 each and private party donations totalling $6,000.
Construction began in April and the project's completion is expected in early June. Eagle County's Road & Bridge Department re-located a storm water utility line to make way for the improvements. Pete Fralick, P.E., is Eagle County Engineering Department's project engineer overseeing construction activities by Grindline Skateparks, Inc.
