The public is invited to the upcoming Bob and Verna Byrd Skatepark Grand Opening this Thursday, July 23, at 7 p.m. The special occasion will take place at the Pleasanton River Park with free treats and goodie bags, while supplies last.

The park has now been officially named in honor of Bob Byrd and his late, beloved wife, Verna.

The Byrdman, as he is known, would like to share his joy with the Born to Ride family, friends and spectators, while at the same time recognizing the great things God has done.
