As a mother of 2 kids, I am always thrilled to share the new ventures that come in Loudoun County. I was so excited finally the skate park big day is here. Please feel free to share this with your fellow friends and family who live in the area.
The Loudoun County Department of Parks,
Recreation and Community Services and the South
Riding Proprietary are pleased to announce the opening of the new
Dulles South Skate Park on Saturday, December 12, 2009 at 1:00 p.m.
The skate facility represents a collaborative effort by the county and the
homeowners’ association to provide safe recreational skateboarding
opportunities for community youth. The original concept, presented to the
public in August 2008, called for skate spots along a planned trail near the
Dulles South Multipurpose Center. An alternative location adjacent to the
center was later identified, which required only minimum site preparations, and
a new design was created by SITE Design Group, Inc. of Solana
Beach, California.
The 5,600 square-foot park accommodates skateboards, inline skates, and
non-motorized scooters with concrete features including ramps, rails, stairs,
stacked ledges, floating quarter pipes, and a pump bump.
Under a memorandum of understanding, the South Riding Proprietary assumed one
hundred percent of the costs associated with construction of the skate area. California Skateparks
from Upland, California was the general contractor on the project. The
property is owned by the county, which will be responsible for the maintenance,
operation, oversight, and administration of the facility.
The Dulles South Multipurpose Center is located at 24950 Riding Center Drive.
