ROCKPORT, Texas â Rockport officials encountered a problem when moving its skate park from its current location to a prepared pad site in Memorial Park.
Employees learned the infrastructure of equipment was disintegrating due to age and exposure to outside elements at the Community Aquatic Center.
âAfter 15 years of use and sitting out in our temperate environment, the metal and wooden framework was falling apart and required a massive rebuild to ensure the safety and functionality of the equipment,â Rockport Parks Director Rick Martinez said. âNot only was this a setback to our initial timeline, we had to undertake unplanned work with a depleted staff, and still continue to stay on top of the regular work schedule.
