A $2.2 million skate park has received a soft opening by Powder Springs city officials.

California Skateparks was awarded the design-build contract by the city officials.

The skate park is among the features at the Silver Comet Linear Park on Richard Sailors Parkway at Powder Springs Road along with a covered basketball court, an inclusive playground, restrooms and a covered area with fitness equipment.

A bowl and a street course with ramps and rails are part of the skate park.

A grand opening event for the skate park will be held sometime in September, according to city spokesman Jon Gargis on the city’s Facebook page at facebook.com/CityOfPowderSprings.

All users of the skate park - no matter their skill level - are required to wear adequate protective gear, he added.
