Rumors of an indoor dog playground at Ward Hill industrial park have been swirling around the Haverhill Fever Facebook page recently, and now it seems Ward Hill East is home to an even juicier development- Haverhill is getting an indoor skate park! A friend just texted me this exciting photographic evidence:
How cool is that? No word yet on when it’s set to open, but the park, being built by local ramp manufacturer Frozen Waves, has been in development since early March.
Frozen Waves specializes in mix-and-match ramps so anyone can design their own unique skating experience. Founders Brandon Bader, Rif Welsh and Benny Paquette gush on their Web site:
“25 years ago, we had an incredible dream. We grew up on skateboards. As we thrashed away our childhood, this dream matured right along with us. Our common ground is skateboarding, and thus, the way of our walk. Our goal is to make our dream, your reality.”
Well, despite being all kinds of no good on a skateboard, I for one am totally psyched and will be waiting with bated breath for this awesome new venture to open up shop. Until then, check out this cool video of a recent event Frozen Waves put on at Pop*Up Shoppes in Manchester, NH.
HEY, GREAT ARTICLE. THIS PLACE WILL BE WONDERFUL FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS AND FOR THE VIEWING PLEASURE OF US OLDER FOLKS WHO WISH TO BE ABLE TO MOVE LIKE THEY CAN MOVE.
BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK TO THE GREAT YOUNG MEN WHO HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO MAKE THEIR DREAM A REALITY. AND EVERYONE BE SAFE.
That’s awesome. Wish I could skate.
Time to start practicing!

Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for newbie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
I am going to be in Littleton MA March 22-28th will your skatepark be open? How far are you from Littleton.
I appreciate your wp web template, where did you get a hold of it?
