CONWAY — The Conway Skate Park Committee met Tuesday to go over action plans for the Kevin Peare Memorial Skatepark, which they said the project could be completed by October 2026 if all goes well.
The park is to be located on town-owned land off Hemlock Road just north of Walmart and west of the southern terminus of the North Conway Rec path.
