Local skateboarders have raised funds to hire Grindline Inc., a Seattle-based firm that specializes in the design and construction of skateparks throughout the country. To learn more, see http://www.grindline.com/

cated at 1555 W. Front St., Rhodes Skate Park is a 1.28-acre special use site in downtown’s Linen District. Local youth helped design the park, which features inline skating and skateboarding. The covered and lighted area features a half-pie, rails and ramps plus a full-length basketball court, restrooms and picnic tables.
