Daytona Beach to get Skate Park

In a few months, a new skate park in Daytona should be open for use. Groundbreaking is scheduled for Thursday in Bethune Point Park, and construction should wrap up by the middle or end of this summer, said Percy Williamson, the city's leisure services director.

Skateboarders, BMX bikers and in-line skaters of all skill levels will be welcome at the roughly 30,000-square-foot skate park on East Bellevue Avenue, Williamson said. Street scenes, ramps and a bowl will be some of the features at the park. There will be no charge to skaters and bikers.

The $800,000 park is being funded by a $400,000 Volusia County ECHO grant and another $400,000 in leisure services impact fees.


Bethune Point Park is on the inland waterway half way between Daytona and Daytona Beach Shores.
