GREENFIELD If the City Council approves $350,000 the mayor has included in her capital budget, Greenfield could have a skate park once again in a few years.
Mayor Roxann Wedegartner said she is committed to building the long-awaited skate park. The city had one at the back of what is now Olive Street Apartments, but it was dismantled in 2010 to make way for that project. Though Mark Zaccheo renovated the building and built a parking lot where the skate park once stood, he and his wife have been avid supporters of building a new skate park.
