Temporary Skateboard Ramps Eyed For Berlin’s New Park

BERLIN – While a permanent facility is likely still years away from reality, skateboarding enthusiasts could soon have access to temporary ramps at Berlin Falls Park.

At a meeting of the Berlin Parks Commission on Tuesday, area resident Sean McLaren volunteered to set up his skateboarding ramps at the park on a regular basis, perhaps as often as once a week. Town Administrator Laura Allen indicated a temporary set-up on a regular basis at the park could be possible.

“We just need to work out those details,” she said.

McLaren and Tres Denk of the Eastern Shore International Mountain Biking Association were in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting to advocate for biking and skateboarding opportunities at the town’s new 60-acre park. The duo was behind the successful Get Ramped event held at Berlin Falls Park in the fall.
