Mason City Council boarded up plans for a skate park last year, but the park board is prying those plans loose.
Council member Christine Shimrock, who is on the park board, said that group agreed last month to take another look at plans for the $432,622 skate park.

"We agreed to review old plans, look at modifications, adjust the budget and talk to Deerfield,"
Shimrock said.
