Lathrop spending $110K for skate park fencing
Skateboarders
Skateboarders and scooter operators have been able to use Riverbank Skate Park to practice and hone their skills. Whether it's the bowl, the ramps, the rails, the jumps or the steps, in groups large and small, or individually, they're still able to come out to work on their techniques. Even now that 'distance learning' has started up in the local schools, there's plenty of daylight left in the day to work out. Ric McGinnis/The News
Up until now, the skate park at the Lathrop Generations Center has been accessible to whoever wanted to come in – even if it was after the posted hours. But now that the Lathrop City Council has approved a $110,280 contract with Benton Fencing and Drilling Inc., the skate park – which draws skaters from throughout the region – will now be accessible only during the hours posted.
