Fountain City Skate Plaza Fountain City Town Hall is sponsoring the fundraising event in conjunction with the Legacy Parks Foundation with the ultimate goal of raising $130,000 for the Fountain City Skate Park to be located on Knox Rd. between Maple Dr. and N. Broadway. It will be a plaza-style skate park with two-levels, a small gazebo, parking, a bleacher, sidewalks, and landscaping. The City of Knoxville is also seeking separate funding for an adjacent greenway, which will help to create new neighborhood park along First Creek that all Fountain Citians can be proud of and enjoy. The park will also serve skateboarders in the North Knoxville, Inskip, and Halls communities and will function as a satellite park to the regional Knoxville Skatepark being built within Tyson Park. |
Construction on the skate park is expected to begin in Spring/Summer 2008 depending upon how quickly the needed funds can be raised. There is a desperate need for a public and legitimate place for skateboarders in Fountain City to practice their sport so everyone in the community is asked to support this and other planned fundraising events. Tax-deductible donations to the Fountain City Skate Park can be made directly to the Legacy Parks Foundation, 2447 Sutherland Ave., Knoxville, TN 37919. For additional information about the organization, go to www.legacyparksfoundation.org or call 215-6612. Please write "Fountain City Skate Park" in the memo section of your check.more about the skate plaza click here for a printable version of a brochure |
