After a year of planning and construction, the Kyle Scow Memorial skatepark is ready to open.
Port Hardy Recreation announced an opening day party for the park set to take place on July 27 at the park.
The party comes as Comox-based company Radius skateparks was put in charge of reconstructing the skate park back in August 2024.
Its new look was designed by the community and received very positive feedback.
The district of Port Hardy says the budget for this improved park, was set at $550,000 and was funded by the BC government.
The party will feature a ribbon cutting ceremony, music, skateboard and scooter demos, free skate and scooter sessions, as well as giveaways and prizes for lucky participants.
Admission is free, and activities run from 3 pm to 5 pm.
