This $632,000 state-of-the-art facility is a new, hip recreational venue provided by the Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department. Built with bond funds, the Skatepark has a 1,300 square foot concrete course for skate boarders and in-line skaters. It caters to a full range of users from beginners to the experienced vert crowd, with features including:
Street Course, Banks, Transitions, Corners, Rails, and ledges. Multi bowl ranging from 5-1/2 to 10-1/2 feet. Instead of cutting a ribbon, County Commissioner Dan Bishop and Park and Recreation Commissioner Larry Huelsman will lead the ceremonial cutting of a chain with bolt cutters ("It's more extreme, man") to officially open the facility. The ceremony will also include music, giveaways of skating equipment, and demonstrations by championship skaters from Charlotte, Charleston and Atlanta: Dave "Science Fair" Maxwell, A.J. Chase, Chuck Powell, Mark "Otis" Smith, Chris "the Keith Richards of Skateboarding" Collette, David "Malachi" Smith, Ray Fannessey, and more. The presenting sponsor of the grand opening is Streamline General Contractors, which built the Grayson facility in special consultation with John Woodstock Design and California Skateparks, industry leaders is skatepark design.
