The Turf skatepark, which opened in 1979 , closed in 1997 amid a decline in swimming-bowl skateboarding and a rise in street skating.
It was popular among local skaters and even drew professionals, including skateboarding legend Tony Hawk .
Greenfield Mayor Michael Neitzke , backed by hundreds of pleas from the community, pledged to resurrect the iconic skatepark.
Various food and beverage vendors were on-site to serve guests throughout the event.
Future additions will include expanded parking, an extension of the skatepark, a seating area and a spectator berm.
The Turf reopening is not the final phase of the project, with future additions planned.
