On thursday we had the final meeting for planning the skatepark. The plan was revealed ans it looks good. Ther is another meeting for the park board on the 11th. This is one of the less important meetings, but, it would still be appreciated if you came. Good work getting this far. Hopefully it will be done next year.

I was just made aware of a meeting scheduled for this thursday. It is going to be at the community recreation center on the 31st. The big event of this meeting is the much awaited plan for the skatepark. I hope to see everyone there.

Hi again. On monday the 7th we had another meeting that really went perfectly. We saw some possibilities as far as plans went and gave constructive criticism. the company will come back to us in a couple weeks with a revised plan that will incoroporate our ideas and preferences with their knowledge and experience of what works and what doesnt. hope to see you all at the next meeting soon.

Great meeting

We had a splendid meeting tonight. This was the second planning meeting for the wilmette skatepark. A couple higlights are: 1)the location is going to be a parking lot near the recreation center, 2) it will be about 10,000 square feet, and 3) we hope to have it approved by this comming fall. It will be made of a prefabricated material(skate light or skate wave not concrete). We then designed potentials for the park and the meeting was over. Good job and thanks for comming to everybody who came. Hope to see you at the next one.
