The Middlebury Skatepark Project, a grassroots community group of parents, students, teachers, skateboarders, roller skaters, and rollerbladers, is working to bring a much-needed recreation space to town.
Roller bladers, scooter riders and other skatepark fans in Bristol have a lot to get excited about.
“We want to make it abundantly clear there’s a demand (for a local skateboard),” said Ethan Murphy, co-leader of the Middlebury Skatepark Coalition.
The group involved, calling itself the Middlebury Skatepark Coalition, currently has 50 members and has set this Friday, April 29 (at the Ilsley Library community room at 5 p.m.) as an informational meeting to get the ball rolling.
Volunteers have been working hard to update the skatepark at the Bristol Hub Teen Center, next to the Bristol recreation fields.
