Front Page News - Support a Skatepark in Casselberry

Many of the citizens of Casselberry and surrounding communities have been actively raising their voice, asking to be represented at City Hall by their City Commissioners.  Their hard work, signatures on petitions and signs in their lawn supporting the construction of a skatepark have garnered regional attention.

In a community that has everything from baseball fields, basketball & tennis courts, walking/biking trails, playgrounds, golf course and even a kayak rental program for a blueway trail, there are no skateboarding facilities.

As the City Commission does nothing significant to advance the idea, no staff studies or commissioning of a study committee, we've provided our best effort at a comprehensive proposal for a neighborhood skatepark and city wide system of skate spots leading to it.  The idea of a skatepark system would increase the potential for state funding as roadway projects are designed and completed in the future where FDOT is involved.

For now, the front page news is that our journey continues.

 
 We'll continue to push as a community until our kids get the safe place they deserve in a park.  A place where they can build a community network of their own, a place they can proudly call their Casselberry.
