Cracking at Woodstock's skate park is not a safety issue. That today from the Director of Parks and Recreation, Brian Connors. Connors says the cracking that has surfaced after only 20-months since the skate park opened was bound to happen. "There are some cracks that we're going to have to keep an eye on, but it doesn't look like they pose a safety hazard. And I take that more from the trained staff that come down here and inspect it." (In photo - Connors taking a close look at some of the cracking.) Regardless, the city brought in Patterned Concrete to take a look today. They are the company that constructed the skate park in 2011. Connors says the cracking is not likely under warranty. "I think some of the cracking, that's not a warranty issue, unless we can prove there's deficiencies. I don't think we can in this case, I think this is just natural wear. They're not major cracks that indicate the company was negligent in its pour." Connors says the cracking will be patched up. We'll have more on the cost and what's involved as the city works through the issue, and information becomes available.
