Fernie Skate park closing Monday for demolition

Construction of the new Fernie Skatepark is set to begin soon.

As of Monday the existing skatepark on Pine Avenue will be closed to the public as demolition is slated to begin next week.

The new grant-funded park will reflect the public’s input after months of workshops and online surveys to finalize the design.

Construction of the new park will place over the summer months in time for a fall opening.
