Greenwich Parks and Rec Announces Skatepark Opening

The Department of Parks and Recreation has announced that the Greenwich Skatepark will open Sunday, March 29, weather permitting.

The supervised facility at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park is for youths at least six years old, and will be open on weekends from 12:30 to 7 p.m., and on weekdays from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Annual memberships cost $175 and are available to residents at the Parks & Recreation Office in Town Hall, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The annual membership entitles the cardholder to use the park whenever it is open, and receive discounts on classes and competitions.

Day passes and monthly memberships may be purchased at the skatepark. The day pass fee is $10 and $30 for monthly passes.

All skaters 17 years or younger must have a parent or guardian sign the waiver release form before they can skate. Full pads are required.

For more information about the park, or clinics and camps, call the skatepark at 203-496-9876, or log on to www.greenwichct.org.
