• If this is your first time at the park, come early to purchase a new membership or day skate.
• Day skate cards are good for one day only. At the end of the last session they are all discarded. If you come back the next day the process starts all over again.
• Even members need to bring a picture I.D. to get in the park each day such as skate park I.D. card, school I.D., school yearbook, sports league card, DMV photo, or individual photo with parent's notarized signature.
• We never make exceptions when it comes to medical release/hold harmless policies.
