Sandpoint Mayor Jeremy Grimm talks to skateboarders Tuesday as he joined in a grand opening of the second phase of the Concrete Lake Skatepark.
SANDPOINT — It didn't take long for word to get out.
When crews completed the second phase of Concrete Lake Skate Park early, they invited the community's skateboarders to give it a spin last week. The half-dozen or so watching the work immediately took city officials at their word and hit the pavement. Before long, a post about the early opening spread throughout the skating community, and the expansion — all 7,000-plus square feet of it — was filled with activity.
Add in 5,000 square feet in the first phase — now about 15 years old — and the park offers roughly 12,000 square feet of diverse terrain and skill areas with something for everyone.
