Melissa Draycott, Steve Hildebrand and Gord Zacharias from the Portage Parks Committee met with the Rotary Club to share exciting developments about the skateboard park planned at Simplot Central Park.
Along with an accessible playground and interactive water feature, the skateboard park will provide another much needed recreational opportunity for young people in Portage. The Portage Parks Committee was formed in 2012 and thanks to the commitment and hard work of its members, along with a broad range of community support, more than half of the fundraising goal for the skateboard park has been raised. The Rotary Club of Portage la Prairie recently committed $50,000 toward the $500,000 goal, securing naming rights. We are pleased to be part of another great community project!
