Surely youve seen "Support a Skatepark in Casselberry" yard signs all around town.
You may have even signed our online or traditional petition of support.
What you haven't seen or heard is progress towards identifying a location or budget for the proposed skatepark.
We've met with two of the five City Commissioners on multiple occasions. As a result of their input, we spent the time to develop and publish a Skatepark System Plan for Casselberry.
Now that they have it in hand, we are hoping to see further movement on the project. Only time will tell.
Within the plan, as submitted, we determined Secret Lake Park was the best location for the proposed Casselberry Skatepark.
During a recent meeting with a supportive City Commissioner, we learned of their interest in developing an unused area adjacent to the Casselberry Golf Course.
We love the idea. It has parking, is centrally located and visible, is nearby a trail head that connects a lot of neighborhoods to the east and there is a snack bar at the golf course clubhouse where drinks and food can be purchased.
We'll see where the idea leads as work on the Casselberry Skatepark continues in the future.
Until then, keep sending the City Commission letters or emails detailing your support for bringing this project forward and making the Casselberry Skatepark a reality.
