Cavelero Skatepark Open House
Posted by Gary O'Rielly on Sep 13, 2016
On Monday evening, September 12th, the second public Open House to discuss Cavelero Park and its various uses. From the skatepark to the BMX park, volleyball and basketball courts and parking were briefly described by our own Jim Haugen, the City of Lake Stevens Parks Coordinator. Representatives from the City of Lake Stevens, the City of Lake Stevens Parks Board and Snohomish County were in attendance at the Open House.
But the evening was spent outlining the three proposals crafted by Micah Shapiro, the Lead Designer from Grindline. Each concept was discussed with some really good user audience input.
Concept 1 -15,000 sq, ft with a good mix of terrain.
Concept 2 - 16,000 sq. ft. bowl shaped like Lake Stevens sitting on the site with prospects of expansion.
Concept 3 - 15,500 sq. ft. pushing the skatepark back using more land. Most thought that this concept would feel the most crowded.
All Concepts can be used for competition events. Concept 2 was favored by most of the audience with the prospects of expanding the square footage for Phase 2. The goal is to have the skatepark ready for use in August 2017 if all goes well. Another meeting will be held in October.
