In-kind donations of concrete, rebar and even hotel room stays are among items that will help reduce the direct cost of a $177,000 skateboard park planned for Paris.
Dave Bean of the Skateboard Park Planning Committee on Wednesday circulated a list of park-related needs that could be met by the local community. The committee has raised about $100,000 for the park to date.
It has been weeks since a Sept. 22 meeting with Wally Hollyday of California Skateparks, the Upland, Calif., firm tentatively slated to build the park. Hollyday was expected to submit a list of needed items shortly after the meeting.
“I guess I’d begun to get a little concerned that we hadn’t gotten anything back from California Skateparks,” committee member John Parsons admitted Friday. But Bean’s e-mail, he said, “perks me back up again.”
The next step will be to arrange a meeting so the committee can continue working on efforts to raise funds and secure materials for the park, Parsons said.
Items need for the planned 7,600-square-foot park include:
Hotel rooms for one week for eight workers
1 skid steer (Bobcat)
1 dump truck
800 sticks of No. 3 20-foot rebar
400 linear feet of 2-inch by 6-inch forms
500 linear feet of 6-inch siding
20 sheets of -inch plywood (CDX)
TBD (simple drains per feature)
4-inch concrete paving
100 yards of 4-inch flatwork mix concrete
1 pump
110 yards of 6-inch shotcrete for ramps
1 rock pump
1 air compressor
