LAGUNA NIGUEL
Some of the city’s most enthusiastic planners crowded City Hall Monday night in their uniforms of baggy sweatshirts and jeans.
Nearly 40 children and teens came to help choose a final design for the city’s 20,000-square-foot skate park, which is scheduled to open next fall. The park will be across from the Federal Building on Alicia Parkway.
Three designers from purkiss-rose-rsi, a Fullerton architecture firm hired by the city, asked the skaters to scrawl all the half-pipes, fun boxes, rails and stairs that they saw fit onto blueprints at a meeting last month.
The design crew studied the blueprints to find the most popular features and obstacles. The architects are scheduled to unveil the final design in three weeks, said designer Dominic K. Oyzon.
