Finally.. it happened.
Thanks to the cooperative efforts of the dauphin county commissioners, the borough of Steelton, the get on board skateboarding program, Rayzor Tattoos, and the Harrisburg area skateboarding population; Central PA now has a FREE concrete skateboard park. Built by Arment Concrete, the Steelton Skatepark is a huge hit among Central
PA skaters and the local Harrisburg /Steelton community. This past weekend the park opened to the the public. People came from York, Lebanon, Maryland, Lancaster and even New York to ride the 10,000 square foot skatepark.
There were probably at least 150 people through the park on the first day alone. Families, old heads, young bucks and locals arrived,skated together, took pictures, bbqed and even gave local novice skaters a helping hand or a ride on their skateboard. The local politicians made an appearance along with the local police dept and marveled and the skill and interaction of everyone there, hell, i think some may have even gotten a few rides in.
Even though the the park is currently open to the public, the official grand opening event is September 23rd, follow the Steelton Skatepark facebook page here for updates on the park.
