It only takes a few to ruin it for everyone. The city of Hutchinson announced Wednesday afternoon that effective immediately, the Hutchinson Skate Park at 1503 South Elm is closed until further notice.
They say that the action was taken as a result of the continued vandalism, equipment damage and graffiti on the equipment and the surrounding area.
One young man rode his bike all the way from 10th Street Wednesday evening to skate board at the park only to be disappointed that it wasn’t open. We were there to photograph the park for this story and others also asked us why it was closed. They were greeted with sign telling them its closed. Now they know and will have to find somewhere else to skateboard.
Again, the skateboard park is closed until further notice.
