Summer blowout camp day and open house coming to A-Town Park
A-Town Skate Park.
‘Skate and scoot’ park partners with City of Atascadero
– The City of Atascadero and A-Town Park have announced a “Summer blowout camp day and open house” on Wednesday, June 15 from 11 a.m. until noon.
Over the past 14 years, A-Town Park has been operated by Kevin and Andrea Campion, who have been entertaining and running many classes for local kids, and hosting date night events for parents. The Campions work together with the city to provide the repairs and upkeep to all of the skate surfaces so that all the local skateboarders and scooter riders have a safe place to skate.
The event will be an opportunity to hear from the kids and see a variety of demonstrations, along with a little DJ music from Kevin Campion. Refreshments will be served and available while supplies last.
A-Town Park offers 8,000 square feet of indoor plus 7,000 square feet of outdoor facilities for skate/scoot riders in a safe, supervised environment. Full rentals are available along with a full Pro Shop. A Summer Scooter Camp runs June 13 through the 15 from 9 a.m. until noon for $75 per person.
A-Town Park has also been involved with the Monster SK8 program and quite a few professional riders have started right here in Atascadero. For instance, A-Town Park’s very own professional scooter champion, Chris Farris, has had success with placing 1st in several of the recent International Scooter Association (ISA) competition for both Action Space, and Best Trick. Chris also took second in the ISA Worlds Park Final and is currently ranked #1 in the USA! Chris is someone all of our local residents can be proud of! What started for Chris as a way of just spending time and having fun turned into a full-time profession and the ability to compete in and win some of the biggest competitions all around the world.
