The much anticipated construction phase of Lake Tye Park skate park improvements is scheduled to break ground on Thursday, April 7, 2016. Grindline Skateparks will begin construction at the start of April 2016 with an anticipated completion towards the end of July 2016. “I’m excited to announce construction of Lake Tye’s new skate park will begin next week. The new skate park will be a significant improvement to Lake Tye. It will create a better facility for skateboarders to learn and improve their skills’” said Monroe Mayor, Geoffrey Thomas. “Thank you to our Monroe City Councilmembers and the State of Washington for investing in this valuable community asset.”
During construction the skate park will be closed, however, adjacent park amenities such as the boat launch, lake-trail loop and beach area will remain open to the public.
The total project cost is estimated at $270,000, which includes $120,000 in awarded funds through the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program Grant.
