Skate Park Recommendations
Please be advised that bicycles, scooters, and shoes with wheels in them (commonly known as Heelys) are not allowed at skate camp. Our insurance stipulates that bicycles and skateboards may not be used at the same time within the park. As for scooters and wheeled shoes, both are unsuitable for use on the obstacles in the park and pose a significant risk to the rider.

Also, please note that we strongly advise against the use of lesser quality skateboards such as the ones commonly found at toy stores and large discount stores. Such boards do not provide a smooth and consistent roll due to bad bearings, and their axles frequently do not turn well. Riding such boards can drastically reduce even an experienced rider’s performance, and make a novice’s experience more frustrating than is necessary. We recommend professional quality boards which may be purchased at local area skate shops.

Skate Lessons
Lessons are available anytime the park is open. For more information or to schedule a lesson, please contact the service center.
