Nearly a year after it was announced that the Brandon Koch Memorial Skate Park would relocate from Starr Avenue to Donelly Park, the revamped skaters' paradise opened to the public Friday afternoon. An upwards of 60 children, teens and adults took their wheels to the pavement in celebration of a new place to skate, and they weren’t disappointed. “I’ve been waiting ever since they started building it, and it’s awesome,” said Nikolas Salazar, who brought his bike out to the new skate park.
