A Grand Opening ceremony was held at Piru Town Square Skate Park on November 7, 2013 officially opening the new skate park. Supervisor Kathy Long praised the hard work of all involved with the project.

The County asked the residents of the Piru many years ago, what recreation improvement they would like and the skate park was at the top of the list. Funding finally became available through many sources to fund the $1.1 million project.
