Frequently Asked Questions
Where will it be located? How far along is the process? Answers to all that and more.
CERTIFIED NON-PROFIT
The Lin-Wood Skate Park Committee is an extension of the Lincoln-Woodstock Friends of Recreation non-profit organization. The committee is raising all of the funds to build the physical skate park; consisting of concrete, steel, etc. Once completed, the park will fall into the town’s routine maintenance plan of trash removal, mowing, etc.
NO ADDITIONAL INSURANCE
The skate park will not require any additional insurance or increase the town’s insurance premiums. It will be regarded as a town recreational facility just as the Kancamagus Recreation Center and other recreation venues are.
LOCATION
Many locations were considered discussed with the Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, Lincoln Police, Recreation Department, and local citizens. The document grants the park to be constructed on a one-acre land parcel of town-owned land. The Town of Lincoln will maintain ownership of the land.
BUSINESS IMPACT
In the last 18 months, over 25 local businesses have donated and/or pledged their support to the project.
WALK-INS WELCOME
