Parks get sparkle: $25 million bond measure pays for development and upgrades - The Ref... Page 6 of 6 <br /> Concrete skateboarding bowls have since become part of the <br /> Churchill and Cal Young youth sports parks, with the city's <br /> third such facility now under construction at the new Bethel <br /> Community Park. <br /> Stephanie Mohler and Geth Noble - co-owners of Airspeed <br /> Skateparks, the Florence-based general contractors for the <br /> Bethel skateboard project - were at the site building a drainage <br /> system and doing other preparation work recently. They intend <br /> to have the bowl completed by Oct. 15. <br /> "This park's going to be different than the other two in town," <br /> Mohler says. "Free-form shapes, really organic. There'll be <br /> something for everyone - all levels of skating. <br /> "We already had a meeting with all the (Bethel-area) skaters," <br /> she says. "And we skated with them awhile." <br /> Twelve-year-old Samuel Troxel, riding his board at nearby <br /> Meadow View School, says he can't wait for the finished <br /> product. <br /> "It'll give something for skaters to do," he says. "Now, I'm just <br /> stuck here in Bethel." <br /> Related: <br /> Follow the money <br /> Copyright© 2002 The Register-Guard <br /> 1/41100, <br /> http://www.registerguard.com/news/2002/08/18/1 a.parkproj ects.0818.html 8/26/02 <br />
