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.

Support a Skatepark in Casselberry

We are pushing for a full neighborhood skatepark in Casselberry & have been the single biggest and most visible community movement in the city over the past year.

Rather than address the need for a community skatepark, our city's leaders have punted on the project by calling for a Parks Master Plan after getting caught citing one for being the reason no action had been taken during the 2016 Budget Workshop.

Fact:  There has been NO Parks Master Plan in place in the past and it has not stopped recreation planning and development.

A single consultant just proposed providing a study that will lead to a Parks Master Plan for Casselberry.  At what cost?  $74,000.00

That is funding that could otherwise be spent on current recreation needs in our city.

Despite our dismay, we plan to participate in this process and send the clear and convincing message that we have for the past year; Casselberry has a demonstrated need for a modern recreation facility in the form of a skatepark.

In order to continue to attract younger families and have them become residents, we need to provide the recreation they are looking for when they are ready to put down roots.

Stay tuned for developments like community workshops and surveys that will be part of this process.

In the short term, a step towards improving our city has been made by including a skate spot in the Casselton Drive improvement project.  A public input session should take place to see the design of it in early June.

We will update our Facebook Page: Skate 32707 - Support a Skatepark in Casselberry with a date, time and location as soon as it is known.

Attendance is important, as a small group in the area has already surfaced to try and prevent it, citing problems in their community that are totally unrelated to skateboarding as a reason to oppose the skate spot.  We know better and have the facts to support it.

The City Commission needs to hear from all of us that support a vibrant and active community so that they will continue to support the project.

Stay engaged, work hard to spread the word and make certain that you attend any and all meetings that are announced.

What about noise from a Casselberry Skatepark?

One of the potential sites for a Casselberry Skatepark is Secret Lake Park.

Secret Lake Park scores very high when skatepark site selection criteria are objectively applied.

How would a skatepark fit within the existing active uses that are already there?

You be the judge:

An overwhelming level of support continues to endorse the construction of a skatepark in Casselberry.

Ultimately, the City of Casselberry will determine where it is built. 

We hope that established criteria is used to make that choice.

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.

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.
