The Appalachian Reports
The Watauga County Board of Commissioners voted to close the Appalachian Skate Park June 1, after hearing a recommendation from the Watauga Parks and Recreation Commission.
The skate park, which opened in 2006, has been the subject of debate for the board. In August, a security guard was posted to address concerns about skaters not wearing helmets and safety pads. After complaints about the security guard, an attendant was hired.
Since the attendant was hired, skater turnout at the park had sunk to a low of four a day. The lack of participation eventually led the commissioners to close the park.
