The City of Franklin closed the Skate Park located at Riverside Park on the
Chattahoochee River. Back in September of 2009, the river flooded the
area, including ball fields and the Skate Park. FEMA (Federal Emergency
Management Agency) cleared the park as usable since it was made up of
entirely steel and concrete with no porous surfaces. Thursday night, the
Council decided to close the park while the Heard County Board of
Commissioner's cleans up the rest of the park of the sand and debris that
litters the area from the flood.
The Franklin Skate Park was installed in 2008 by the former City council to
allow the skaters of the community a place to gather instead of riding on
the sidewalks and streets, which posed a hazard for the skaters and
pedestrians. The Veterans Memorial was damaged by a skate boarder
riding on the face of the memorial bricks.
Hopefully the City Council will be able to open the park soon.
