Hopkinton’s New Skate Park at EMC Park Set to Open in Late November

By MyFM’s Claire Beverly – The new skate park at Hopkinton’s EMC Park is expected to be open in late November.  In an update late last week, Parks and Recreation Director Jon Lewitus said construction of the new skate park will start in September and is expected to take about two months. The original skate park was revitalized in 2015, but with no maintenance it fell into disrepair. Lewitus says they also plan to offer programs, saying the skate park offers recreation that is more diverse and inclusive for kids who don’t play other sports.
