New concrete has arrived in Iowa! Le Mars Skatepark has officially opened.
The grand opening was just last week and proved to be a record turn out at O'Toole Park. Several hundred people gathered to witness extreme sports at the Le Mars Skatepark. The free event brought professional skateboards from out of state and even Europe to demonstrate their skills, as well as a BMX team from Nebraska. Solidifying Le Mars is becoming a destination City.
“When I look at how many children, teens and adults are in and around the park since its completion, it is very clear that a ‘quality of life’ goal was definitely reached. The foundation hopes for similar results for all the projects we support.” ”
Showing homage to the Ice Cream Capital of the world, the design includes a halfpipe mimicking an ice cream scoop, which has been lovingly labeled as "the spoon" by the locals.
