Construction could begin this spring on a new Columbus skate park after the city received a $50,000 matching grant bringing the project closer to its fundraising goal.
Columbus is receiving a $50,000 matching grant from CreateINg Places through the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority on behalf of Patronicity, a civic crowdfunding platform.
The city plans to replace the 15,000-square-foot wooden Jolie Crider Memorial Skate Park at Indiana Avenue and Marr Road in Clifty Park with a new concrete facility. The new 12,000-square-foot facility will replace the original wooden structure which has sustained considerable damage during the past 20 years, park officials said.
