If you live in the City of Port Huron you may have seen the construction of a new skate park at Optimist Park over the past few months. The project is now complete and getting ready for their grand opening and ribbon cutting.
The new skatepark will feature state-of-the-art equipment and ramps for local skaters to perform all sorts of tricks and stunts.
The huge project, which has been in planning since 2018, was made possible through the partnership of organizations such as The Skatepark Project, Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, Community Foundation of St. Clair County, Advia Credit Union, private investors/donors, and many others.
On Saturday, May 20th, they will have their grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony beginning at 10 a.m. at Optimist Park located at 1400 Whipple Street, Port Huron.
