Skateboarders in Minnetonka will have to wait a little longer for a new park. The Minnetonka City Council had been set to vote last month to approve spending to design and build the park, but the item was pulled from the council agenda. After Minnetonka purchased the Marsh fitness club from the YMCA of the North earlier this year, city officials wanted to take a pause and look at Minnetonka's whole system of parks and recreation facilities. City spokesman Andrew Wittenborg said the larger skatepark is still likely to be approved somewhere in the city, but it's no longer certain the park will be at the site of the current, smaller skatepark near Glen Lake.
