Skate Park Dedication Brochure
Over 300 people gathered Saturday, June 19, 1999, to celebrate the grand opening of the Columbia Skate Park. Skaters, parents, city officials, and spectators were joined by a local radio station broadcasting live until noon, at which time another D.J. provided accompaniment to the local and professional skate team demonstrations.
Skateboard manufacturers Element and New Deal sent professional skaters Donny Barley and Chad Bartie to entertain the crowd.
