CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman City Council on Monday evening announced plans for a skateboard park to be built adjacent to Depot Park downtown. California-based Spohn Ranch Inc. was named as the designer for the park.
On its website, Spohn Ranch boasts “three decades of municipal skatepark projects, spanning 40+ states, 15+ countries and a variety of corporate clients including Red Bull and Vans, Spohn Ranch’s skatepark designers and skatepark builders have mastered a broad range of techniques specific to creating the highest-quality wheel-focused terrain possible.”
The council also approved a change order in the amount of $37,240 for additional structural supports for a LED video wall at Wild Water Waterpark, as well as a contract with Aquatic Development Group Water Park Design for additional engineering and design services at Wild Water Waterpark.
The council announced that former director of Cullman Parks, Recreation and Sports Tourism Nathan Anderson will be returning to take the reins as these major projects get underway. Anderson left CPRST in 2019 to become CEO of 46 entertainment, the Nashville-based live production company that puts on Rock the South. See our separate story.
The council voted to accept Terri Pines Country Club as a gift from the family of Bert McGriff, founder of the club and member of the “Flying 50” team that helped make Cullman a location for multiple industries. See our separate story.
In other business, the council voted to:
- authorize the mayor to submit an application with the State Revolving Fund program for sanitary sewer collection system improvements and rehabilitation
- enter into a contract with St. John & Associates for engineering and other professional services contingent on approval of the SRF application for sanitary sewer collection system improvements and rehabilitation
- conditionally accept Ege Farm Drive SW as part of the public street system
The Cullman City Council meets at 7:00 p.m. on the second and fourth Monday evenings of each month in the City Hall auditorium. The public is invited to attend.
