Riley Skate Park 70 percent done, set to open this summer

Riley Skate Park External Link might not look like much now, but it will definitely be a sight to behold in a few short months, according to Bryan Farmer, a recreation supervisor with Farmington Hills.

The skate park is nearly 70 percent complete and construction is set to resume this spring. Farmer expects it to be done and open by June. A number of skateboarding teams and vendors from across the U.S. have already inquired about it.

"We have had a lot of skateboarders interested in coming out for the grand opening," Farmer says.

I found the Above, I will try to contact this Bryan Farmer to get a date!
