Espeically in a county where there's only one other skateboard park. This is a big deal for that area since there aren't a lot of places for skateboarders to go that are close to home.

Construction is expected to begin next month and will hopefully be done by the end of fall.

The Courier Post talked with Commissioner Jeff Nash, liaison to the county's parks department who says the skatepark will become "a real defined and designated sense of place for kids of all ages."

It's the perfect location right off North Park Drive in Cherry Hill, across from the DoubleTree Hotel and next to the seasonal ice rink that the county puts up during the winter months.

If you're wondering how this project is being funded, it's being paid for by the county, with help from state aid, says county spokesman Dan Keashen.

According to the report, it will cost $900,000.
