Suggestions
Welcomed |
| Some things we would like in the skatepark are a half pipe, some tabletops with rails or benches, and a stair set with a handrail and some quarter pipes. My name is Jimmy ... I am one of the skaters (3-5-2009) |
| Detailed plans are still pending for the skate park, splash park, and new playground equipment in the park. Please send your suggestions to me at wrightted@aol.com and I will share them with the community and the park board. -- Ted Wright |
Voters in Collinsville's city limits will decide April 7th if they are willing to increase the local sales tax to fund several Collinsville improvements. On the list of proposed improvements is a skate park to be located in the Collinsville City Park. Several of the Collinsville youngsters who would be glad to have an approved place to skate gathered for a group photo Thursday March 5th in the park.
I hope to build a page similar to this for each type of proposed improvements before the April vote. -- Ted Wright
