Cause & Effect: A Casselberry Skatepark Will Be Popular & Well Used

Casselberry, FL has a robust Parks & Recreation Department that offers plenty of traditional activities and venues for its citizens.  Over the past few decades, skateboarding has grown in popularity across the country seeing participation rates increase, while traditional sports have seen their numbers decline.  Despite this trend, Casselberry remains without a skatepark.

Within the Casselberry City Limits there are approximately 800 skaters based on current demographics and skateboarding participation rates.

If the area of influence a Casselberry Skatepark is expanded to include neighboring cities and unincorporated areas that share our border that are also without a skatepark facility, the number grows  to approximately 3,600 skaters.

Currently, the residents who skate for recreation are left to either skate the streets, parking lots or wherever they can find a space.

The status quo needs to change.

One of the ways that we're trying to influence the City of Casselberry to bring a skatepark to our city is to increase awareness to our mission.
