Deadline to provide input on design of Grayson County skatepark Friday

Friday is the deadline for area residents to provide their input to the Twin Lakes Skatepark Project as they work with Hunger Skateparks on the design of the planned skatepark in Grayson County.

“We want to know ‘what do you want to see?’” said Twin Lakes Skatepark Project Chairman Casey Keown. “We don’t want to just put together a park based off of what we think it should be, right? ‘Unity through community’ is our motto, so we really want to incorporate everybody’s input in this new skate park.”

Keown says the organization wants to hear from Grayson County residents as well as residents of surrounding counties that would utilize the skatepark. A link to the survey can be found on the Twin Lakes Skatepark Project’s Facebook page and website.

Keown says the project team has continued to make progress, including official recognition as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

“Right now our focus is on community engagement and fundraising,” Keown said. “We’re all really excited to see where this is going and you know I think for the most part we’ve kind of got everybody on our side, and our cards are just falling in the right place at the right time.”
