According to The World, Mingus Park skate park in Coos Bay will have it’s official ribbon cutting ceremony on May 22. Until then it’s going to remain fenced off. I don’t know why, but this sentence cracks me up:
After consulting with its insurance company, the city’s decided that it’s OK for people to use roller blades and skates, though bikes and scooters are still banned.
As if they were going to build it and then decide that nobody could use it. Pictures courtesy of Concrete Warefare on MySpace. There are some construction pictures here on SnA and some more recent photos on EPM.
– Thanks to Tristen Reasor for the tip.

Kilwag,
Thanks for posting this. I can’t wait for this park to open. The whole process of getting this park done has been a headache from the get go. The city aka “Chuck Freeman” really didn’t want this here. I would Like to thank Jason, Zach, Lori & Chris Reasor for building this amazing Park.

Yep that kid didn’t even volunteer on the park. The city was giving out $1200 trespassing ticket’s to anyone caught in the park. So I guess he got lucky.
