Monthly Skateboarding Opportunities Planned For Berlin Falls Park

BERLIN – Town officials have agreed to allow a temporary skateboarding facility in Berlin Falls Park.

On Monday, the town council approved an area resident’s proposal to set up his skateboarding ramps and equipment in Berlin Falls Park the last Sunday of each month from May to October. The equipment would be available for the public to use free of charge from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“Our goal is to give an outlet for everybody to participate,” said Sean McLaren, the local resident who’s providing the ramps.

The council approved a “Temporary Skateboard Services and Facility Use Agreement” with McLaren to allow for the monthly events. McLaren had previously offered the use of his equipment to the town at a meeting of the Berlin Parks Commission. He and Tres Denk of the Eastern Shore International Mountain Biking Association hosted the “Get Ramped” skateboarding and biking event at Berlin Falls Park last year. They’re eager to provide area children with more biking and skateboarding opportunities.

The youth of America would be better served if it was turned into a gun range. Teach them a skill they could use.
