This park is the result of a private-public partnership with lots of organizations coming together to fund the project including the Faith Lafayette, City of Lafayette, Tippecanoe County and in-kind donation of private business in the area. The park is located off HWY 26, in the parking of Faith Community Center Lafayette East.
The design includes all the big feature asks from the community meeting including a lunar vibe inspired by the Purdue University connection to the science and astronauts involved in the first moon landing. The skatepark site is in the existing parking lot of Faith Community Church. We re-utilized some of the asphalt to flank the ends of the new park to create big community spaces and flat ground curb and ledge zones. The big design moments in the design include a double stage, faith feature replica, a big jump line that ends in a mini ramp square bowl, and a moon landing feature.
