New skate park in Lake City’s future

 James Brighter said he grew up at the Coeur d’Alene Skatepark.

The self-described “skate-rat” would spend endless hours at the park after school and on weekends. However, once Brighter and his friends were able to drive to skateparks outside Coeur d’Alene, they noticed their local skatepark lacks many of the features common at parks around the world.

“Currently a lot of people will skip out on skating our local park and travel to Spokane to visit their parks,” Brighter said.

With plans in the works for a new skatepark as part of a host of improvements to the Four Corners area, Brighter and other adrenaline junkies in Coeur d’Alene could see a world-class skatepark come to fruition as soon as spring of 2018/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
