Staff, Engineering staff, and a Town Police representative. This dedicated group has been instrumental in securing funding and support for the Bridgewater Skate Park project. They continue to work tirelessly to raise additional funds and promote the park within the community.
The Bridgewater Skate Park offers a safe and exciting space for skaters, scooter riders, and bikers of all ages and skill levels. The park features a 10,000 square foot plaza with state-of-the-art obstacles and challenges designed to cater to all types of riders. Phase I of the construction, which includes a concrete bowl, obstacles, surrounding landscape, and parking lot preparation, is now complete. Phase II, which will see the construction of a pavilion area, is currently in the works.
The Skate Park not only benefits local youth by providing a positive recreational outlet, but also contributes to the overall community by promoting healthy, active living and attracting visitors to the area. The park has been made possible through the generous support of various stakeholders, including the Town of Bridgewater, the Municipality of Lunenburg, the Province of Nova Scotia, local businesses, and private donors.
While the Skate Park does not fall under the regulations of the Province of Nova Scotia's Motor Vehicle Act, the Town of Bridgewater strongly encourages all users to wear helmets and protective equipment while using the facilities. This is in line with the town's commitment to promoting safety and well-being within the community.
The Skate Park fundraising committee, consisting of Town councillors and staff members, continues to work towards securing additional funding and support for the project. Through various fundraising initiatives, including crowdfunding campaigns and partnerships with corporate sponsors, the committee aims to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of the Bridgewater Skate Park.
In conclusion, the Bridgewater Skate Park is a valuable asset to the community, providing a fun and safe environment for all-wheel enthusiasts to hone their skills and connect with like-minded individuals. With ongoing support from local stakeholders and the greater community, the Skate Park will continue to thrive and benefit residents of Bridgewater and beyond.
