So far, the "Number 1 Question" that has been expressed as a potential roadblock to The Casselberry Skatepark project getting approval and funding has been...
"Will it really get used?"
We took a little trip over to Longwood's Candyland Park to check out the modular skatepark the other day to see what kind of use its getting.
The skatepark there is less than desirable.
Their modular steel ramps are not very well thought out in their placement. As a result, there is no flow.
The number of users on a nice fall afternoon resulted in a lot of standing around and waiting by everyone.
Simply put; with a lot left to be desired, the Candyland Skatepark is very well used. In the hour and a half we were there we saw 18 skaters come and go along with 7-8 bmx'ers.
The Casselberry Skatepark will be much larger, planning indicates a minimum of 10,000 sq. ft. should be built.
The park is expected to be concrete construction and its design will be through input from the skate community, so expect great things.
When all of the effort is rewarded, we know one thing is for sure, it will be very popular and it will be used a bunch.
The folks that need to know this are City of Casselberry Commissioners. Please email them to let them know the construction of a Casselberry Skatepark is an important issue that needs immediate attention.
