Ojai Skate Park Updates
Skate Park Approved!!
Jubilation erupted at the close of the two-in-half hour joint Ojai City Council, Ojai Planning Commission, and Ojai Parks and Recreation Commission meeting tonight. The Ojai City Council approved moving forward with an "in ground skate park that is a minimum of 10,000 square feet at the current location." The vote was unanimous and next week a design firm will be selected. Significant kudos goes out to the City Council, Skate Ojai, and all the public who showed up and spoke at the meeting. At times it was emotional and, for me, this was one of the best public meetings I have attended. Good feelings. Good motives. In particular the gentleman from the Rotary and the woman from Solvang spoke most clearly about how this was the right thing to do for the kids of Ojai now. If the time line goes as expected, we should have a skate park at the current location by next spring. From the Ojai Post - Read More »
