Skatepark Public Meeting 12-15-2021

The City of Auburn is commissioning a new concrete skatepark to replace the existing skatepark at Casey Park. To make the design the best it can be, we want to hear from the local community and there are two ways that you can participate:

Take the online survey.  Go to tinyurl.com/caseyparkskatepark to take the online survey for design of the skatepark.  Survey is open through December 14, 2021.

Attend a public meeting.  Come join the City of Auburn and the design team from Grindline Skateparks to learn more about this exciting project, meet the Skatepark designers and contribute your ideas to the design of the skatepark.  This meeting will be held Wednesday, December 15, 2021 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m. at the Equal Rights Heritage Center, 25 South Street in downtown Auburn.  BONUS: attendees of this meeting will have a chance to win some pretty awesome swag, including a skateboard deck from KRUDCO Skate Shop.

The City of Auburn has contracted with designer Grindline Skateparks to design a one of kind skate park for our community.   Design for the project will be funded utilizing Community Development Block Grant funding.  The timeline for construction of the new skate park is dependent on funding availability. Current anticipated timeline is as follows:

  • November- January 2022: Design Development
  • February-March 2022: Final Design
  • March – May 2022: Bid for Construction
  • July- December 2022: Construction
