NEW ARVIN SKATE PARK

A new six-thousand square foot bike and skate park has opened during a celebration Tuesday afternoon in Arvin before a group of kids and city officials. Miki Vuckovich of the Tony Hawk Foundation says participants take their sport and its culture very seriously but are not treated like other athletes. The $450-thousand dollar park is located at Haven Drive and Meyer Street, city officials say it took about a year to complete.
