Skate Park Coming to Dubuque

The City of Dubuque will begin gathering input on a proposed new skate park at a public meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, November 9, in the Majestic Room at the Five Flags Center, 450 Main St.  Potential user groups, potential project partners, and all others interested are encouraged to attend.

The purpose of the Nov. 9 meeting is to give community members an opportunity to meet the project design team, ask questions, share ideas, and discuss the project in-depth.  The meeting will also include a review of Dubuque’s two existing skate parks at Comiskey Park and McAleece Sports Complex.

The City’s goal for a new skate park is to draw and engage local users to a facility that will challenge beginners to experienced users at a facility that provides street and park style elements, obstacles, and terrain.

Additional background on the proposed project is available at www.cityofdubuque.org/skatepark.  For more information, contact the City of Dubuque Leisure Services Department at 563-589-4263.
