Commission told half‑pipe damage at Arroyo skate park requires urgent repair; staff seeking vendors and assessing long‑term replacement
Summary
Staff reported a hole in the skate park half‑pipe, difficulty finding qualified vendors for above‑ground equipment, and a $300,000 estimate to replace the facility with a concrete park; staff purchased the damaged piece and is pursuing repair and vendor options.
The Community Services Commission received an update on a damaged half‑pipe at the Arroyo skate park and was told staff purchased the replacement piece but has struggled to find a qualified vendor to perform the repair.
Staff said the skate park’s above‑ground components require specialized installation and that the original vendor (Spahn Ranch) and other companies have reported staffing or capability challenges. The city has procured the damaged piece but is working to arrange qualified installation. Staff said risk management is involved because the hole is a liability while the park remains open. Commissioners were told there is a plan and an estimate to replace the above‑ground equipment with concrete features; staff cited a roughly $300,000 price estimate for concrete replacement.
Options discussed included temporarily closing the park or removing damaged equipment until a vendor can complete repairs. Staff said they will continue to pursue vendors, coordinate with the original installer and keep the commission updated; commissioners asked staff to involve skate park users and local skate‑community stakeholders in future planning for long‑term replacement.
