Tonight Is Skate Park Night At Gille Park In Lacey

Get out your skateboards, scooters and in-line skates. It's skate park night at Gille Park.

The skate park opens at 6 p.m. and will run until 10 p.m. There will be a live DJ, and a mobile gaming trailer provided by "Party Crashers" from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. with age-appropriate games, Police Chief Michael C. DiBella said.
