Holmes Beach to build skate bowl at city field
An artist rendering shows a skate bowl, which was added to plans for the new skate park at city field, with completion planned for December. Materials and labor for the bowl, which is projected to cost about $100,000, are being donated by Tom Sanger Pool and Spa of Bradenton, with assistance from other contractors. The Y-shaped bowl will be about 4 feet deep and, at 800 square feet, about three times the size of an average swimming pool. Islander File Photo
I was concerned this would happen. HB goes from a small, under utilized, skate park that has been closed for months to this. Not only have we spent tax dollars on a new park now the town has “donated “ land for a skate bowl. The town has advised by the skateboard community throughout and have bought in all along and now this. It will be very interesting to see the usage numbers of this “attraction “. I’ll be watching.
WoW! great that a pool designer is contributing to it’s foundation. Can’t wait for it to fill up with flood waters, then it will be the community POOL too. Pure genius!
