POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) — Optimist Skate Park is scheduled for a temporary, two-day closure next week as the City of Pocatello completes the final steps of construction and improvement.
The City of Pocatello Parks & Recreation Department announced Friday that the skate park, located at 972 N. 7th Avenue, will be closed on Thursday, October 9, and Friday, October 10.
