The parks are located side by side in John Hunt Park off Airport Road.
The city of Huntsville cut the ribbons Wednesday to open two recreational parks adjacent to each other in John Hunt Park but with decidedly different objectives.
Get-A-Way Skatepark and Kids Space Playground are now open to the public – the skatepark is a new feature to the park while Kids Space is launching a second life after being rebuilt. The two are located off Airport Road near the south end of John Hunt Park. Together, they represent an investment of about $8.6 million, the city said. Not all the money, however, was an allocation of tax dollars.
“I’m pleased that the community and City came together to build a world-class skatepark that everyone can enjoy,” Gierow said in the city’s announcement of the parks’ openings.pays tribute to the original design while delivering modern features that are exciting to both street and Olympic-style skateboarders. Some of those features include a clover bowl, a snake run with depths ranging from three to 10 feet, a ¾ pipe, and a large street plaza.
