Construction is progressing nicely at Possum Creek. It won't be long now.

"The skate park at Possum Creek Park should be completed within the next few months. It will include both concrete bowls and streetscape features for skate boarders ranging from beginning enthusiasts to advanced individuals. When completed, Possum Creek Park will feature a skate park, dog park, nature and exercise trails, playground equipment, parking and restroom facilities."

Construction has begun!
