Skateboard Weekend At Glen Maury Park

This Saturday and Sunday, April 20-21, the Greater Rockbridge County Skateboarder Coalition’s portable “Freshpark” will be set up inside Oyler Pavilion at Glen Maury Park for free access to the public.

The Freshpark features 20 portable obstacles such as ramps, manual pads and rails. This park was purchased with the intention to bring the joy of skateboarding, among other wheeled sports, to communities within Rockbridge where there is little opportunity or designated areas to do so, said a spokesman.

Helmets and pads are strongly recommended as residents are riding at their own risk.

The Freshpark will be available through 5 p.m. Sunday.
