The Somers Recreation Dept. Skate Park located behind Town Hall is open this season as weather permits. The park is open for in-line skaters and skateboarders (No bikes allowed)
If you would like to utilize the Skate Park, please stop by the Recreation Office or park during operating hours and complete a membership application and release form. Skaters will then be issued a skate park “ID” for use upon entering the park.

Work at the Skatepark
The Recreation Department is currently looking for responsible young adults to employ as paid park attendants and/or parents to supervise at the park during weekday afternoons from 3 – 6pm. These attendants must complete CPR certification. Interested? Please contact the Recreation Office @ 763-8231.
Without your help, the Skate Park will be unable to open during weekdays.
The possibility of beginning a Skate Park Association has been discussed at the Recreation Commission meetings. If you would like to see the park open on a more continuous basis and are interested in becoming a “skate park parent”, please contact the Recreation Office @ 763-8231.
Plans are underway for a skateboard clinic on Saturdays this spring and summer (dates to be determined). Please contact the Recreation Office to register and for more information @ 763-8231.
