WILLIAMS FARM SKATE PARK 2ND PUBLIC INFORMATION DESIGN WORKSHOP

Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation will be hosting a second Public Information Design Workshop for the new Williams Farm Skate Park, which is part of the Council-approved Williams Farm Recreation Center & Park project in the western Bayside area of Virginia Beach.

The purpose of this follow-up workshop is for the public to review the plans that have been developed based on the original feedback garnered at the first public meeting on April 7. Citizens were invited to provide input into the design elements of the skate park, which will be sized approximately 20,000 square-feet, in-ground and concrete, with urban street plaza elements like steps and rails. Plans also include a vert ramp/bowl component and a flow park.

The second design workshop will be held at Diamond Springs Elementary School on Thursday, May 5, 2011 from 6 – 8 pm, and is open to the public.
