Skatepark Events & Community Pride

No different than jazz concerts or art events in Lake Concord Park, the Casselberry Skatepark will also be a venue for events that will be a source of community pride.

Families from across the state, as well as out of state participants will travel to Casselberry if our skatepark is designed and built by professionals

Take a peek at what a family friendly event looked like at the New Smyrna Beach Skatepark last weekend.

Skaters from pre-teen to over 50 years old competed to raise money for Grind For Life, a charity that provides financial assistance to cancer patients when treatment requires them to travel to another city for specialized care.


The Casselberry Skatepark will be a valuable asset to our town.  Your support is needed to continue moving it towards completion.

Call or write the City Commission and voice your support:  commission@casselberry.org

Teamwork makes the dream work!

The Future Of Casselberry Requires Youthful Involvement

Casselberry has been working for over a decade to spark economic development within its borders.  Geographically situated along two major arterial roadways, The City of Casselberry is figuratively and literally at a crossroads.  The possibilities for growth and development are there.

Some development has broken loose, but it mostly involves multi-family apartments and planned developments of single family residences.  While a positive, it could be better.

The positive trajectory the city desires lies at its front door in the form of a motivated and engaged generation that is begging to be heard and engaged.

Engage the Community!


The grassroots effort to establish a skatepark, a move that would further enhance the livability of the city, is filled with younger citizens and new families looking to be part of a community.  They long for a sense of place and are willing to work for it.

If the city and its elected officials would capture that momentum and build on it, they would capture the demographic they need to advance to the next level.

Rather than the status quo, its time to shift or pivot.  Only time will tell if the city's leadership will realize the opportunity it is fortunate to have before it.

Casselberry is at a Crossroads


Support A Skatepark In Casselberry & you'll be supporting positive growth for our community as we move into a future driven by millennials.

Art In Casselberry & Why Skateboarding Fits

Casselberry has worked over the years to develop its identity as a center for art and artists in Seminole County. 

Its a big part of the transformation of the city to gain a positive image moving forward and cast aside a checkered past that to this day is mentioned in articles that chronicle the positive growth that is happening.

A growing grassroots movement to bring a skatepark to Casselberry is afoot in the community and if embraced it could help further the ongoing effort to create a stronger art community here.

This TEDx Talk will help you to understand the link between the art community and skateboarding if you haven't already come to know its true.

Think of the possibilities a vibrant skate community would bring to our city.  Dream of the inspired youth that will fill it and further the change we all seek.
