Berkeley's New Skate Park Is Open For Business

The new Berkeley Township Skate Park is open!

The skate park is tailored for BMX riders, skateboarders, scooter riders and inline skaters. The park is designed in phases, with a beginner’s course on one side, intermediate in the middle, and an advanced course on the other side. This will allow beginners to learn how to fully use the park.

As people get better, they can use the other parts of the park, which allows for a great flow for the riders. They can also go from one part of the park to another, all in one run, according to a post on the township's Facebook page.

The Skate Park is located by the playground at Veterans Park, 489 Forest Hills Parkway in Bayville.
The official Grand Opening will be held on Saturday, June 10.. Details will be announced soon.

"As you know, our primary focus was rebuilding after the devastation of Super Storm Sandy," Mayor Carmen F. Amato said. "We still have work to do, no doubt. However, the time is now to revisit projects that were placed on the back burner due to Sandy. The skate park was one of them."

Guadagno, Amato and members of the Recreation Department meet with stakeholders over the past year and settled on American Ramp Company. The skater-owned company has designed and built over 2,000 skate parks.
