New date set for Brandon Skate Park's grand opening | Entertainment

Brandon, Florida-- The new skate park in Brandon originally scheduled their Grand Opening event for April 21, but had to re-schedule because of an inclement weather forecast.

According to Hillsborough County, they set the "rain-check" for Saturday, May 12 at 1:00 p.m.

The event will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony with County Commissioners followed by demonstrations by local skateboarders. The Skate Park is located at 5720 Providence Road.

Hillsborough County News says the Brandon Skate Park is Hillsborough County government’s first skate park, and local skateboarders supported and worked with Hillsborough County during the planning process to provide input on the design.
