Mayor Kel Sheehy of Lake Havasu City described Rotary Community Park, a 40-acre city park that includes the Tennell Memorial Sports Complex, and said the complex — completed in February 2013 — is “one of Arizona’s largest skate and BMX parks.”
Sheehy spoke on-site at Rotary Community Park to summarize the park’s amenities and the memorial purpose of the sports complex, which the mayor said honors Patrick Tennell, an Army veteran who died serving the country, and Colin Sassine, a young Lake Havasu native who loved skateboarding.
The mayor listed the park’s features, saying, “This beautiful 40 acre park was built with the community in mind, providing something for everyone. From beaches and walking paths, to ball fields and volleyball courts, Rotary Community Park is a hub for relaxation and recreation.” Sheehy identified the Tennell Memorial Sports Complex as located within the park and described it as a major local skate and BMX facility.
According to Sheehy, the sports complex was completed in February 2013 and is intended in part as a memorial to Patrick Tennell and Colin Sassine. The mayor invited residents to use the facilities, saying, “We invite you to explore and make memories of your own.”
No formal actions, funding decisions, or policy changes were announced in the remarks.
