Skate park takes shape

Brian Hodges slides a portion of Sikeston's new skate park onto the concrete pad as Levi Bobbett reaches for another piece. Equipment is being installed in the skate park, which will be located at the Sports Complex, with the work expected to be completed by Friday. The park includes three-and four-foot banks along with three quarter curves, a grind box and center obstacle course.
