BERLIN, M.d – Yesterday, the State Board of Public Works approved $300,000 in state funding for a proposed skatepark.<\/p>\n

The site of the park would be at Heron Park, along Old Ocean City Boulevard. It’s proposed to be 14,000 to 16,000 square feet.<\/p>\n

A bowl, quarter pipes, and a pump track will all be included in the park.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chauncey Rhodes is the store manager at Viking Tree Trading Co. in Downtown Berlin. He says he thinks every community needs a skatepark.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Rhodes, the project has been talked about for several years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s just an overall really cool thing to include everybody,” he says. “I think skateboarding is, I think it builds confidence with a lot of young kids.”<\/p>\n

Berlin’s Mayor Zack Tyndall says the town is waiting for a formal award letter from the state before moving forward with the park. He also adds that the goal is to advance the project toward construction as quickly as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
