Skateboarders Fundraise to Build Skatepark
The Cave City Skate Club is applying for grants and planning several fund-raisers to raise money to build a skateboard park within the Cave City Park, now that city officials have designated an area for the facility, spokesman Matthew Hubbard said.
The group is also getting donations from banks and other area businesses, he said.
Others who have represented the group during Cave City Council sessions include Anthony Compton and Susan Tully.
“Our first fund-raiser will be a concert,†Hubbard said. Hopefully, the concert will feature bands from a wide area and which are known to support skateboarders’ efforts, he said.
The group hopes to hold the concert in the city park, but nothing has been scheduled as yet because everything is in the planning stage, Hubbard said.
The group hopes to build a $175,000 skate facility that would also be used by inline skaters and freestyle bicyclists.
