After months of planning, fundraising and support, the local skateboarding community’s donation of a new vertical ramp for Centennial Park has won Lawrence City Commission approval.
Friends and family of Corey Lawrence, a skateboarder who died after an accident in 2021, hope to pay tribute to his love for the sport by building a new half pipe at Centennial Park.
River Rat Skate Shop has teamed up with Lawrence Parks and Recreation for the first time, and they’re planning a big event with lots of prizes to give out.
