Skateboarders of all ages got a chance to have their say on Thursday night on a new skateboard park in Pointe-Claire.
A special meeting was held at Pointe-Claire city hall to show residents the potential design and to get feedback.
The $600,000 project has been in the works since 2013.

The previous Pointe-Claire skatepark was shut down to make way for an indoor pool project back in 2010.
