    It looks like this is the school that is across the street from McCoy stadium. It could make for a fun day to hit the skate park then catch a Paw Sox game and drink some beer.

    If they spend 550k and end up with another crappy pre-fab park I am going to be very disappointed.

    edit - don't bother looking for plans all the google results are people complaining that this is a waste of money.

    Pleaes no Pre-Fab! We already have two in Attleboro. One is pretty much unskateable and the other is not far behind. Even the scooter mafia won't hit them up Man, I hope this happens......

    I hope this happens in Pawtucket, but I won't hold my breath.

    BTW theres a great bowl in Hudson MA, that I frequent during the week sometimes (close to my work). It kind of scares me, but i power through it and I'm getting better

    "Instead of going out partying kids can go to the skating rink and have some good wholesome fun."

    If I remember correctly, all we did at the Fairfield park was boot up heroin and shoot cops.

    I'm usually there every Sat and Sun morn 9-11, or until the scooter-gangs show up. They don't open the gate on weekdays until school gets out
