As summer break looms before us, we are acutely aware of this simple fact:
If your city has no skatepark, the city is the skatepark.
We've already been hearing that citizens and business owners are calling the Casselberry Police Department to report skateboarders for skating in places they deem to be "off-limits".
Once school is out, it wont be long before its happening all throughout the day across Casselberry.
We know that the kids are simply looking for a good time, being active and are being, well... kids!
Recognizing this fact, we're encouraging everyone to be cautious as they motor through the neighborhoods.
Until we provide a skatepark where the kids have a safe place to go, its our responsibility as a community to keep them safe.
If you would like a bumper sticker for your car - send us an email or contact us through the Facebook Page: SKATE 32707 - Support A Skatepark In Casselberry
The Mission of SKATE 32707 is to build community support & advocate for the Casselberry City Commission to listen to its constituents calling for them to allocate land and funding for the construction of a skatepark in Casselberry so that our youth and citizens will have a safe and inviting space to skateboard and be a part of the community.

Casselberry Redevelopment Should Include Skatepark
As Casselberry works hard at redevelpoment to draw millennials as residents, one of the aspects they continue to miss is the need for a skatepark.
Nearly every upwardly mobile city that is creating its own renaissance has invested in one.
Here are some facts:
Skateparks are for more than just the neighborhood kids. They do create a diverse social space for active youth to enjoy their sport, but more over, they are a vibrant space where the community as a whole is welcomed, crossing generations and cultures.
If Casselberry is serious about distinguishing itself from surrounding cities in a positive way, a world class skatepark will be a big step forward.

Casselton Drive Skate Spot - Casselberry, Florida
Soon you'll be able to see plans for the skate spot that will be situated in a linear park that is slated to be constructed along Casselton Drive just south of the landmark water tower pictured above.
The skate spot will be a first step in a positive direction towards providing skateboarding equal access to recreation facilities in the City of Casselberry.
Design work for the spot is being completed by Team Pain Skateparks, so we're stoked to see what they come up with for the project.
We hope that this will be the first of several skate spots that will link our neighborhoods with the main skatepark that we are is still working hard to deliver.
Community support continues to grow as the number of petition signatures increase and yard signs continue to spring up in front of residences across town.
