WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – Phase I of the Oak Island Skatepark has been complete, and the City of Wausau will host a grand opening ceremony on Sunday, August 10.

“From what I gather from emails I am getting, and comments we see on Facebook, our community is very excited for this to open,” said Jamie Polley, Director of Wausau/Marathon County Parks, Recreation, and Forestry. “It has been three, four years in the making to get to this point.”
In addition to the grand opening of Phase I on Sunday, an update will be provided on Phase II, which includes the fixing and refurbishing of old ramps and skate lights. Once those are taken care of, they will be added back to the new park.
