“This year, we’re bringing the popular Back-2-School Skate Park Contest to the east side of the Village and inviting community members to enjoy the new equipment at Richard Taylor Skate Park,” said Recreation Supervisor Kristi Brewer.

Competitors may select from three divisions, skateboard, scooter, or bike, and compete at the skill level of their choice, whether beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Participants of all ages are welcome to enter.

“We’re excited to offer both classic special events and new programs, activities, and events as we head into the fall,” said Recreation Superintendent Kim Buscemi. “The Back-2-School Skate Park Contest is a seasonal favorite that draws both new and seasoned competitors each year.”

All contestants will be guaranteed one qualifying one-minute run for the crowd and judges. Top scorers from the first run will skate a second and final run.

Contest entry costs $10 for Lake in the Hills residents and $12 for non-residents. Snacks and beverages will be provided. Helmets are required, and a waiver must be signed by a parent or guardian if the participant is under 18.

Participants may register online through the Village’s CommunityPass page, by phone at 847-960-7400, or in-person at Village Hall, located at 600 Harvest Gate. Richard Taylor Skate Park is located at 1107 Crystal Lake Road, near the Lake in the Hills Police Department.
