Mayor's Weekly Message 55

By Mayor Yxstian Gutierrez
Mayor of Moreno Valley
01/31/2019 at 10:37 AM

I’m excited to announce that construction has started on Moreno Valley’s newest skate park, the latest state-of-the-art facility to be added to the City’s recreational line-up.

This project is truly community-grown.

Nearly 1,000 high school and college students signed a petition asking the City Council to build an additional skate park.

They talked. We listened.

And we kept listening.

The City held public meetings to show residents potential concepts of what the skate park could look like, with rails, ramps and stairs. Feedback from those meetings helped shape the design that contractors are now turning into reality.

Located at the corner of Frederick Street and Cottonwood Avenue, Community Park is the ideal location for a skateboarding-only facility. 

The park offers plenty of parking, picnic shelters, and bathrooms.

And we recently celebrated the grand re-opening of the Community Park Soccer Complex following a $2.6 million investment by the City Council to renovate the complex with state-of-the-art soccer facilities for the more than 200,000 Moreno Valley residents and visiting athletes who compete at the regional venues each year.

The new skate park is expected to open in early summer, providing visitors and residents with even more options to get out and play. 

This is not just an investment in a skate park, it is an investment in our quality of life.
