Helmets are mandatory, so skaters bring your helmet and be prepared to have a great time! All skaters must also be appropriately registered. Skaters 18 years of age and older must complete and sign a Waiver and Release form and obtain a Salisbury Skatepark registration sticker. This sticker must be displayed prominently on your skating helmet in order to enter and skate in the park. All skaters under the age of 18 must have the waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.
Salisbury Community Development staff members will be on-site from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. following the grand opening ceremony to register skaters who have not yet completed the required Waiver and Release form.
Deborah Stam, Salisbury Community Development Director, stated “The Salisbury Skatepark Committee members and I have been working toward the realization of this goal for eight long years. It is so gratifying to finally see this dream become a reality. The Salisbury Skatepark will enhance the quality of life for our local residents by providing a new, positive outlet for the energy and exuberance of the community’s youth. I want to thank the Mayor and City Council members who have supported this project over the years, and all the many City staff members who assisted with the construction of this very important addition to our recreational amenities.”
“A lot of positive energy and hard work has been given to this project by so many people,” said Mayor Jake Day. “I’m delighted to see phase 1 complete. I offer my thanks to Debbie Stam for her steadfast dedication to the project, and I look forward to seeing the skaters enjoying a facility for which they’ve waited such a long time.”
And the local property value will skyrocket,especially the houses directly across the street from it.

ReplyDeleteOr 2 sour apples. ^^^^^^^
DeleteAll jazzed up over a skate park. Unbelievable. The city is circling the drain, a cess pool of both crime and poverty, blighted buildings, trash, vacant buildings and this guy is 'delighted.'
ReplyDeleteWell on second thought I guess he would be as it is a step up from the garden or whatever it is he designed.
The secret to happiness is low expectations, comes to mind with those who represent The Crotch of the Eastern Shore.
How 90's is a skate park? Whats next a drive in?
ReplyDeleteI am still sick over placing this park next to residential homes. Could have been put plenty of other spots within the park area. Not very considerate of those living across the street
ReplyDeleteYou're "sick" over it? Come on now its not that big if a deal. Plenty of other things for you in this county/state/world for you to get your panties in a wad.
DeleteIs this the skatepark that John Robinson payed for?
