Blythewood Meeting Rescheduled
The August Blythewood POUR IT NOW meeting date has been rescheduled from 9th to August 16 at 2:00 pm. Meetings will continue to be held on the second Sunday of each month at Groucho’s in Blythewood, but the time will stay changed to 2:00 pm. I’m really sorry about the late notice, thanks for your patience.
Blythewood Town Park Final Plan / New Blythewood Meeting Dates
The final Blythewood town park plan has been completed. In the design the skatepark takes up 20,000 square feet. It has been moved to behind the lake. This is not the design for the skatepark, but the overall plan for the town park. However this is a large step and it means the skatepark will be a reality. I will post a picture of it as soon as I can.
POUR IT NOW, Blythewood has been conducting their meetings at Blythewood High School, but during the summer months this is not a possibility. So we will now begin holding our meetings at Groucho’s in Blythewood on the second Sunday of each month at 3 pm. The next meeting will be August ninth. I hope to see a good turnout!
Blythewood Skatepark Concept Plan
The Blythewood skatepark is a feature planned to go in as a part of the new park to be built outside the Blythewood town hall. Other features include an amphitheater, ballfields, a scale model of the original Blythewood railroad depot, and more.
This skatepark plan is not a final plan so don’t worry if it doesn’t have enough “street” elements or not. The purpose of this is to show people in the community what it will be like in the future when it is built. This plan shows that they’re serious, and they’ve listened to us. Consider this; we asked for an 8,000 square foot concrete skatepark and this plan they have 24,000 square feet, all concrete.
The goal is to bring in a professional skatepark designer who will incorporate the local skateboarders’ input into the final designs.
