In the coming weeks the first major step in the construction of the new park will take place.  The city will release a request for proposals (RFP) on their website.  When this happens, game on!  This is the official start of the project and will attract the attention of the nations top skatepark build/design companies.  We will let you know here first when this RFP is available.  From there, Friends for Skateparks in conjunction with Parks and Rec and city officials will work to select a design/build company.  Read this article to see an example of how this worked in Ann Arbor Michigan.
