WESTMINSTER
Development of a municipal skateboard park will begin soon following the City Council’s authorization for an Irvine firm to start design work.
The $16,000 contract, approved Tuesday, will allow Purkiss-Rose-RSI, which has built eight parks since 1993, and city officials to start looking for sites to build the 5,000-square-foot outdoor park, Community Services Director Charlene Lent said.
This is the first step of a process that began this summer when the council authorized a total of $100,000 for the project. To save costs, the park will probably be developed on city-owned land, Lent said.
