The Twin Lakes Skatepark Project is partnering with Hunger Skateparks to begin the design process for the planned skatepark in Grayson County, and they are seeking feedback from residents.
“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.”
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.”
If you are looking to support the project, Friday is the deadline to purchase tickets for their Blackjack and Black Tie fundraiser on March 1.
“If you want to come out, it’s going to be at the Arbor Stone Vineyards in Leitchfield, and tickets are $50,” Keown said. “With your ticket, you’ll get entry into the event, you’ll get a meal, you’ll get a drink ticket, and you’ll get $25 in gaming credit.”
