Plans for a skate park here continue to move forward.
Mapleton CAO Patty Sinnamon reported at the March 4 council meeting that Drayton Skatepark Committee members and municipal staff will be meeting within the next couple of weeks to put together a plan for a public input process.
Sinnamon also said the group is hoping to submit an application for funding to the Ontario Trillium Foundation in time for the foundation’s July deadline.
Last fall, Mapleton council directed staff to gather public input on a short-list of three possible locations for a skate park here. Short-listed locations include:
– adjacent to the batting cage in Drayton Kinsmen Park;
– the PMD Arena parking lot; and
– the lower level of the Drayton municipal parking lot.
