The City Council of Sandpoint is considering extending the operating hours of the local skate park to better serve the community's needs. During the June 4, 2025, meeting, Adam Hall, vice president of the Bonner County Skatepark Association (BCSA), presented a request to extend the park's closing time from 10 PM to 11 PM, with a potential extension to 11:30 PM during the summer months. This change aims to accommodate increased activity among riders during longer daylight hours, allowing for more evening sessions.
Hall expressed gratitude for the council's ongoing support, highlighting recent improvements to the skate park, including new additions and lighting. He emphasized that extending the park's hours would enhance the experience for the skate community, which he described as a "silent minority" deserving of better facilities.
In addition to the skate park discussion, the council addressed the need for improved public awareness regarding city events and activities. Plans are underway to develop a public kiosk calendar for the downtown parking lot, which will include information on council meetings, local events, and QR codes for easy sign-ups. This initiative aims to make it easier for residents to stay informed about community happenings.
The council will review Hall's request and seek feedback from staff and other members before making a decision. The discussions reflect a commitment to enhancing community engagement and recreational opportunities in Sandpoint.
