Trail Skatepark in 3D
A core group gathered to hear the presentation from Trevor Morgan of New Line Skateparks. The consensus amongst the group was that the park design fitted with most of the wishes of the skaters and non-skaters. This means that Phase 1 is now complete. More tinkering and feedback will be occurring in the next four weeks to complete the final design.

The Rotary Club of Trail is keen to see the first pour of concrete for this exciting project. The youth of Trail need this. The next half-dozen years or so will see hundreds of new families moving to Trail to offset the growing number of retirees in this community. These families will have children who will have realistic expectations of seeing a community skatepark here. Many other similar sized communities with smaller tax bases already have skateparks: Castlegar, Nakusp, Grand Forks and others.
Skate parks provide an opportunity for youth to develop fitness, relationships, leadership skills and confidence.
