Tyler Craig, 16, of Eagle Mountain skates on the half-pipe at the city's new Pony Express Skate Park Tuesday. Begun in July, the $300,000 facility is part of the $2.4 million the city budgeted for parks and recreation improvements this year. Since Eagle Mountain was incorporated in 1996, the population has ballooned to 18,000. Providing recreation opportunities is a city goal since the city's average age is 13.
