City of Lompoc seeks community input for new skate park design at College Park

LOMPOC, Calif.- The redesign project is funded by $3.6 million from California's Park Development and Community Revitalization Program.

The current skate park is old and in need of some changes. Skaters say a revamped skate park will mean a lot to the community.

“Skateboard is a huge community thing and regardless of where you're from, what your background is or anything like that skateboarding is super inclusive and it's huge for the community," said Kolten Austin a skateboarder.

In addition to re-working the skate park the college park proposal will also include a playground, security lights, basketball courts, restrooms and more.

“This is really the community's park. We want to make it a skate park where skaters are proud to use it, and it really caters to them as well as the rest of the community. Just a great place to be and proud to have it here in the city of Lompoc," said Samantha Scroggin the Public Information Officer for the city of Lompoc.

People in Lompoc have until Friday Nov. 11 to take the online survey that can be found on the city's website.

Some skaters that took the survey say they hope the skate park will be designed for skaters of all levels.

“Hopefully they include like a mini ramp section kind of like we have here because its cool to have a mellow slope," said Aaron Wilson.
