Located beside the Waterford Heritage and Agricultural Museum at 159 Nichol St. West, the design of the 8,700-square-foot structure will include a variety of features for skateboards and scooters, including a large bowl, banks, ramps and ledges.

The park will have accessible features, such as benches and tables and a BMX bike pump track.
The initial installation process is the delivery of a crushed material that makes up the base of the complex, some of which is recycled material from the now demolished Waterford silos that were located nearby.
Construction of the skatepark is estimated to take between eight to 12 weeks with a grand opening set for late June.
“A huge thank you to the many dedicated volunteers who have contributed to this project over the past five years,” said Norfolk Coun. Kim Huffman. “Their commitment has truly been a labor of love. Waterford’s skatepark will become a wonderful addition to our community, and a tribute to their work and dedication.”
