Tony Hawk’s donation accepted to build skate bowl in Ogden

OGDEN, NC (WWAY) — Construction of the Ogden Skate park is well underway and with a big donation from none other than legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk, the park hopes to be open by 2017.

Back in March, we learned Hawk’s foundation donated thousands to the park.

Monday, New Hanover County Commissioners met and accepted the $51,000 donation from the Tony Hawk Foundation for the Ogden Skatepark bowl construction.

The project is being built on the northern end of the park across from the playground and soccer fields.
