-Angus is the Recreation Center Skateboard Instructor and Matt volunteers to help maintain the skate park by painting and maintenance duties.
-Police are making a presence and helmets are being worn by participants.
-Angus and Matt would like to see the park expand in the future, is it possible? Silverthorne has the space to expand next to current site, Breckenridge is maxed out, and Frisco has not room to expand.
-Angus¡¦s skate camps are going very well, and he would like to thank the Town of Silverthorne for their commitment and for being very community oriented. Silverthorne¡¦s Park is top rated amongst Colorado skate parks. The community would like to see the area next to the current site expanded into a ¡§Street Plaza¡¨ which would take some pressure off other skaters.
PARK CONCERN: Area next to the park, when wet from snow and ice, begins to seep into the park and will begin to cause damage.
