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.
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.
