BIG MOVE!
Some of are wondering how we moved the park, or just wanted to see if we took
pics. There was a lot of behind the scenes that most of you dont know about.
The story of the last several months and all of our hard work will be told.
There were several pictures taken and as they are collected I will post them
on its own page. To read about how the park came to be moved click:

To clear up some confusion...the old park in Whitehall is closed. We will not
be re-opening in that location. If you are on file at the old location
everything remains the same, including your record if you have one! Check out the park info page for directions to
our new location. Pics of the new park are posted.

Skate/ BMX Classes
Look for classes to resume in the fall.
One on One classes Still Available. Call for details
Skate Classes: We are having a beginner skate clinic starting on Sundays. The class is for beginners only, and is limited. This beginner class is just that, for beginners, skateboarding is difficult to teach due to the nature of the sport, but it can be helped. The class will consist of proper safety fit, setting up your board, skate park etiquette, and basic park skills (example: pumping on a ramp, dropping in, and lip tricks). Cost of the class is $20.00 and will include all the safety equipment if you do not have your own. You must bring your own skateboard. Fee also includes the first session. The class starts a 9am and goes to 11am. The park will open at 11 and you will be able to skate till 4:00. There will be 5 participants per instructor. We presently have 2 instructors involved. All participants must sign up before the class and be prepaid. Please understand that the instructors are here on there time and there will be no refunds for participants that do not show up for the class. If for some reason you cant show please give us 3 days notice so that we can replace that open spot. If there are not 5 participants enrolled in the class by Saturday night the class will be canceled. If the class should fill up we will be posting another class date later in the month. If you are interested in taking the class please stop by the park to sign up. If you have any questions please call the park at 610-437-2452.
