Cracks surface in sections of Ogden Park Skatepark
OGDEN, NC (StarNews) — When the Tony Hawk Foundation gave New Hanover County a $25,000 grant to help build a concrete skate park at Ogden Park, it came with a tease that the superstar skateboarder would hold an event at the completed park in summer 2017.
But the “Get Rad for Ray” event, an annual celebration in honor of Hawk’s late friend and Wilmington native Ray Underhill, never happened. This may be why.
The StarNews reports that in recent weeks water from underneath the structure has begun to seep in through cracks in sections of the park, which opened last spring.
