Skateboard park design displayed
ingham —
The DPW Building Committee hosted a meeting in August regarding the planned skate park at Carlson Fields.
The primary purpose was to discuss the conceptual design of the park (size, features, etc.) and to get community input before the final iteration.
Prior to this meeting a small working group consisting of skaters, Committee Chairman Robert Garrity, and Town Projects Engineer Roger Fernandes got together with landscape designer Mike McIntyre of Action Sport Development, which was chosen to develop the skate park plan. The schematic design is a culmination of the working group’s comments.
ASD was selected to design the park by the committee through a designer selection process. McIntyre and his firm hail from California. The goal is to start construction before cold weather sets in and to complete the park by late fall of this year.
Further details may be viewed on the “Conceptual Presentation Page” provided by Action Sport Development on the Town of Hingham website, hingham-ma.gov.
