Grayslake Skate Park to Get a Facelift
The improvements to the park, which is a memorial to the man who helped create it will cost $155,000.
The Daniel Barry Memorial Skate Park on Library Lane is slated for $155,000 in improvements according to the Daily Herald.
Grayslake Village Board Trustee Shawn Vogel said it’ll be money well spent, considering the park for skateboarders and in-line skaters draws visitors from outside Grayslake and carries Barry’s name, the Tribune said.
“I do think we have an obligation, especially since we designated it as a memorial,” Vogel said in the Tribune.
