Skate Park a go!
The volunteers of the Chase & District Skate Park Society have been working at full tilt since the Kraft Heinz Project Play contest last summer where they were one of the Top 4 Finalist out of a record 820 nominations across the country. Although they fell short of the Grand Prize worth $250,000, the Skate Park Society still walked away with $20,000 towards their recreational upgrade. The idea for a community multi-use skate park first began over a decade ago, but the support and spirit continues to grow. With the park location approved by the Village of Chase and plans mapped and recently revised, the volunteers are FINALLY making this small community’s long-time skate park project into reality! The original plan was valued at $250,000 and after a decade of fundraising locally, the Society recognized that the original goal was unattainable and decided to take a second look with designers. A more simple yet equally enjoyable
park has been designed and with the overwhelming generosity of local contractors, tradespeople and businesses, the work is set to begin on Friday April 7, 2017. The Society has approximately $30,000 which is halfway to their new goal $60,000. The Society has created a Sp ons or s h ip P r o g r a m to raise the additional funds. The approach is to beautify the area, making the new Skate Park an extension of the existing Centennial Park. It’s a tiered program with plaques that will adorn the new trees that will be planted plus other accessories such as bike racks, park benches and picnic tables for sponsor recognition. For individuals, each donation of $50 between April 1, 2017 - May 13, 2017 gets you 1 entry in a Tourism Package draw! See page 9 for more info.
