Paris Optimist Skate Park expansion underway

Please be advised that the Paris Skate Park construction began Thursday, November 7 and will last approximately one month. Crews will work to keep the current skate park open during construction. The County of Brant asks those using the skate park during this time to follow posted directions and be aware of construction vehicles and crews in the area.

It’s a well-utilized park for residents of all ages. When it was originally created, budget constraints prevented plans from including a bowl type feature. This new $245,000 expansion will include a new concrete bowl feature.
