Summer at the Skatepark

I am really thrilled to share stats from Creston's Summer at the Skatepark.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out on the final day. We sure appreciate our sponsors: Skull Skates, Ripping Giraffe Boardshop, Tribute Boardshop, The Shop and Crumbs Bakery Cafe'.

Well we have done the statistics and our program showed a healthy mix of male and female participants, new skaters and multiple communities accessing the program.

It is an absolute joy having Stephanie sharing her love of skateboarding with everyone :)
