Platt High School Renovation Forces Skate Park Relocation

The city will be moving the skate park to the eastern side of Meriden.

Skaters who normally hit up the municipal skate park across from Platt High School will soon be going elsewhere.

The Record-Journal reported that the city will soon be dismantling the park and moving it to the Meriden YMCA Mountain Mist Outdoor Center on High Hill Road so that the city can use the space across Platt High School as a staging ground for the upcoming renovation project.

After the renovation is finished, the lot which contained the park will become the site of the school's tennis courts, the RJ reported.

The new location, near the Middlefield line, will have limited hours for public use, the newspaper reported.
