Humboldt youth propose $7,000–$10,000 skate park at Cannon Park; council agrees to explore designs
Summary
Young residents asked the City Council to consider a small skate park at Cannon Park, estimating costs of $7,000–$10,000 and proposing a 50-by-50-foot skating surface within a 75-by-75-foot area; councilmembers said they would review design options and possible committee oversight.
Milton Ivy, accompanied by Trev Johnston, Elisha Ivy, Tripp Korte and Ryker Roach, asked the Humboldt City Council on Feb. 9 to consider building a community skate park at Cannon Park. Presenters estimated construction costs between $7,000 and $10,000 and described a potential 75-by-75-foot site adequate for a 50-by-50-foot skate area.
The request came during the public-comment portion of the regular council meeting. Councilmembers acknowledged a shortage of local skating facilities and expressed willingness to explore design options and a committee review to seek funding and oversee planning.
The presenters did not propose a funding plan at the meeting; councilmembers suggested staff and volunteers could refine a proposal and return with cost estimates and possible locations. No formal motion to fund construction was made during the meeting.
