The City of Marceline continues to inch toward the construction of a skate park. During its June meeting, the Marceline City Council heard new plans from a group led by Jerret Fisher of the city park board for the proposed skate park. Marceline City Manager Richard Hoon says the new plans involve a new site for the park.

Hoon explains the reasoning behind the site change for the skate park.

Plans could be finalized by the July city council meeting. Once those plans are approved, organizers hope to begin work on the new skate park by late this summer.
