According to the city, between Oct. 14 and 20, there will be excavation, prep, and forming work taking place for the new sidewalk. Crews are expected to pour concrete on Tuesday next week (Oct. 21) and work is set to then wrap up Oct. 22 and 23.

“We appreciate your patience while we make these improvements,” a City of Kamloops online statement said. “The skateboard park will reopen once work is complete and the area is safe for use.”
