New exit ramp at Buck Park's skatepark
On Tuesday, June 16th a large crew of volunteers came to the Skate Park to work. They did an amazing amount of concrete repair and other maintenance. According to Funhouse Director Pete Moe: “The work party turned into a serious project-from filling some cracks to pouring eight yards of concrete to fill in voids inside the walls of the pool. The highlight is the new exit ramp that Thomas Leonard designed on the fly with extra concrete.” He encouraged everyone to come by and check it out.
The crew also gave a big shout out to Island Hardware for all the donated materials. Orcas Island School District Board President Janet Brownell said, “And on behalf of the school board, and the district — thank you to all who came, worked, and helped to maintain the skate park:
