What To Expect As Casselberry Skatepark Campaign Moves Forward

As the Casselberry Skatepark builds momentum it wont be long before some members of the community will stand up and oppose its construction.

NIMBY Skatepark Opponents


We've already seen a small group of opponents attend the last meeting.

Luckily, their concerns are often simply a fear of the unknown and a symptom of being misinformed.


One of the first "roadblocks" will surely be that a skatepark will be too noisy, so be prepared to hear it and have the facts available to respond.

Sound studies have been conducted many times & they have demonstrated that the noise generated at a skatepark is similar to that of basketball courts and playgrounds.



The City of Portland has studied noise produced at parks.


Together, we're going to make sure the Casselberry Skatepark is built.  Keep contacting City Commissioners to ensure that they know we're awaiting their attention on it to ensure Casselberry is truly a community where everyone can Work, Live & Play.

Recreation For Everyone
