Warren still without a site for skateboard park

WARREN — Mayor Michael O’Brien is looking for a third and fourth possible location for a skateboard park for the city, now that a site in Perkins Park has been rejected.

O’Brien said he learned Monday that a site just south of City Hall and a short distance north of the Warren Amphitheater and the new VIP Inclusive Playground has been rejected because groundwater has been detected a short distance below the surface.

That means the location would not be suitable because of the amount of weight that the site will have to hold for concrete and skate park equipment, he said.

The site formerly contained exercise equipment.

O’Brien said he has a couple of other locations in mind and will be checking into those during the course of this week.
