Daytona Beach Skatepark Grand Opening, originally uploaded by spohnranchskateparks.
Daytona Beach’s premiere action sports facility is officially open!
The Bethune Point Skatepark in Daytona Beach, Florida was officially opened on Saturday November 7th – drawing in hundreds of skaters, families, and curious spectators. The skatepark, called the “finest skatepark in the country” by Recreation Director Percy Williamson, is now open daily for skaters and BMXers to enjoy.
The day’s festivities included speeches by Mayor Glenn Ritchey and City Commissioner Richard Shriver, a ribbon-cutting ceremony, demonstrations from local skaters, and separate BMX and skateboarding contests. Big shout-out to Maui Nix Surf/Skate Shop who ran the contests and donated all of the product for the winners. Locals Only Surf Magazine also covered the event in their November Issue which can be viewed online here.
Thanks again to everyone who came out to support skateboarding and quality skateparks!
