Fullerton Skatepark Re-opening – June 16, 2012.

After months of hard work and master planning by the Fullerton Skatepark Association, the Fullerton Skatepark was re-opened yesterday after being shut down for over 2 years. Hundreds of Fullerton residents and others from surrounding cities came out to take part in the festivities and show that although it isn’t the greatest skatepark in the area, it is a much needed part of the community.

The park is located in Independence Park at 801 W. Valencia Drive, Fullerton, CA 92832. Although the park is now open, there are many issues that still need to be worked through. The park is on a three-month probationary period and it is up to the skaters to keep it clean and positive to show the city that re-opening the park was the right thing to do.

Fullerton Skatepark Needs Your Help! May 15, 2012

The Fullerton Skatepark AD HOC Committee/Fullerton Skateboarding Association is a grass-roots, community based organization. The collective of motivated citizens is focused on creating a positive skateboarding scene within their city. The park has been closed since 2010 due to illicit behavior. The FSA has agreed with the City of Fullerton to assist with overall operation and maintenance of the skatepark during peak hours in exchange for a chance to have it re-opened. The organization is working to become a non-profit and follow in the direction of other community based projects like Burnside or WSVT.

After months of meetings and hearings, the FSA has a chance to appear in front of the City Council with a finalized plan on May 15th. If approved by the city council, the Fullerton Community Skatepark should re-open by Go-Skateboarding Day in June!
