An update on the great response we have had for the Castlegar’s indoor skatepark for the second year.
With the support of Kinnaird Park Community Church and the City of Castlegar (CBT Community Initiatives Funding) the Kinnaird Youth Indoor Skatepark was visited hundreds of times by skaters over the 2012/13 winter.
Our regular schedule maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers provided opportunities on Monday, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturday mornings for our 160+ registered skateboarders, of all skill levels, to enjoy a safe warm indoor location.
Utilizing Facebook our group grew to around 216 members who were well informed on all the activities throughout the winter including 2013 Kootenay Skateboard Series - Winter and the Hicks on Sticks pre-screening skate session. We also collected and posted many photos and videos of the successes of young people.
As the weather clears skaters are excited to be out at the Castlegar Rotary Skatepark. For those wishing to learn the basics beginner clinics run at the skatepark from May 4th to 25th, 9 am to 10:30 am. Registration is through the Castlegar and District Recreation Complex.
++++Summer at the Skatepark is running Monday to Friday from June 25th through to Sept 6th > 9am to 3pm+++
