One summer tradition that does not fall under the category of relaxing or fun is the tradition of the summer job.

My husband and I had the idea of having a skate park built here in Olney after visiting the Mineral Wells Skate Park. It was so awesome to watch all the kids of different ages and talents out there. Their skate park is in their city park included in everything. We could see kids skateboarding, a birthday party going on at their picnic tables, and children playing at the playground. We want that for OUR park! I can imagine kids getting hot skateboarding in the summer and going over to the city pool to swim. With the recent upgrades to our city park, I can see families with different aged children coming to the park and having something to do for the whole family.

June 21 was national skateboard day, and it was the perfect day to receive a grant that would aid with the construction of a skatepark in Olney.
