The Municipality of North Cowichan and New Line Skateparks have developed two concept designs fore the expansion plan for the X-Treme Skate Park.

The concept designs for the $200,000 expansion of the park, located next to the Cowichan Aquatic Centre, were created based on feedback through the community and user engagement.

The existing skate park, co-owned by North Cowichan and the City of Duncan who will share the costs of the expansion, was constructed in 1997 for $125,000.

The park is considered a key recreational facility in the region and is well-used by boarders, scooters and bikers.

In a report to council last year, Mansueti said users have continuously requested that the park be upgraded or expanded to meet the numerous advances in skate-park designs.
