The Woodstock skate park hours have been cut down. Council approved a motion Thursday night that would see the skate park close at dusk as opposed to 10 o'clock, as it stood previously. Director of Parks and Recreation Brian Connors says the time change will help cut down on possible injuries at the park. "There's no lights right now, so we would actually be saying that the park is open, when it's pitch black sometimes. We wouldn't have as much liability on us, as opposed to if it happened at 9:45 when they said, 'Look, the park's open at 9:45, but it's pitch black right now'." While Council approved the time change, no penalty was attached to anyone caught using the park after hours was discussed. Connors says the City doesn't have an immediate plans to add lights to the facility. "It's something I think we should be looking into, though. The one thing that we'd have to look into is how much light is going to be necessary, and if the surrounding residents ok with that." But as it stands now, skateboarders will have to get their ollies and kick-flips in before dusk.
