38 FOCUS - MAY 2016 Kick Flips Back Tail Slides and many more stylish tricks. Thats what you will see at the GRAND OPENING of the Caesarea Skate Park on SATURDAY MAY 14. Six years ago when Susie Bollon Parkinsons son Billy was 11 he wondered if there could be a skateboard park built on the village property where an old house had been torn down. Mom Susie said Why not Her rst step was to distribute yers to deter- mine the interest. An enthusiastic committee was formed. There were many fundraisers includ- ing Halloween dances bottle drives yard sales and pancakes with Santa. Generous grants were received from Trillium Hydro One the Rotary Club and Bagwaating. The dream came true last November and Susie recalls her pleasure at seeing the children on Christmas Day having fun at the skate park with their new BMX bikes scooters and skateboards. The kids are so respectful she added taking turns and picking up litter. The designer came out from Vancouver and asked the local kids what they would like to see. The result is a facility for people of all ages and skill levels says Susie. Theres a half pipe quarter pipe stair sets ledges and rails. Parks like this help develop skilled ath- letes by providing them with a place to practice in several dierent areas of discipline.
