FOUNTAIN HILLS

February 16, 2007

Fountain Hills did a soft opening for their new skatepark a couple of weeks ago, but they will be holding a grand opening ceremony on Wednesday, February 21st at 4:30 pm.  For some strange reason, the skatepark signs say no bikes are allowed, but it's not enforced.  I talked to Mark Mayer, the Director of Fountain Hills Parks and Rec, and he said the signs will be changed by the grand opening, and the park will officially allow co-mingled use of the park by bikes and skateboards at all times.  The skatepark is not yet listed on the Fountain Hills city website, but you can get directions by calling Parks and Rec at (480) 816-5151.
