Conceptual design nearly done for Ann Arbor Skatepark

Ann Arbor's first skatepark will take a big ride toward becoming a reality when conceptual plans are released later today.

Excerpt:

What will the plans for Ann Arbor's first skatepark look like when they're revealed later this month? Interested skaters and fans of the longtime underground sport should look east for clues.

Trevor Staples, chair of the Friends of the Ann Arbor Skatepark, says they are using the new Riley Skatepark in Farmington Hills as a sort of template for what they plan to build. They are also working to make sure storm water run-off is taken care of and public art is incorporated so everyone can enjoy the new facility.

"Our goal is to have something for every skater," Staples says. "We want to have beginner, intermediate, and expert levels right next to each other so they can learn from each other."
