Revised August 18, 2010
This area has been designed to provide users with a moderate challenge for recreation purposes and to help develop their skills. It is open to the public and all ages. Skateboarders skate at their own risk. There is no supervision.
It is not possible to design and build a facility of this nature without hard surfaces. The same hard surfaces that challenge the user pose significant risk of injury if the user falls. Please Skate with safety and courtesy in mind. Weather conditions may create unsafe surfaces for users and may require the park to be closed.
Skate Park birthday parties are available. Please call the Recreation Department at 203 385-4052.
