  • GASP is a safe haven where all users are treated respectfully.  There will be no profane language, fighting, pushing, physical or verbal abuse, or bullying tolerated.
  • GASP believes in the safe practice of all sports.  Helmets and elbow and knee pads are required for all users. Wrists guards are required for skaters and boarders under 10 years old and are recommended for all others.
  • For their safety, users under 10 years old must be supervised by a parent or parent designee who is at least 16 years old. The parent or designee must be actively supervising at all times.
  • Spectators are encouraged to enjoy watching the practice of alternative sports but for everyone’s safety, they are to remain outside the fence. 
  • CFY will do it’s best to provide a safe and clean facility. However, each user is responsible for his or her personal actions and safety. All users skate, blade, or bike at their own risk.

 

What You Need to Know

  1. We strive to keep fees very low but they are critical in keeping the park open. User fees help to cover costs associated with providing GASP staff to supervise youth using the park (a requirement of our insurance company).  
  2. Liability and a Code of Conduct form must be signed by all users (and a parent if user is under age 18), prior to skating.
  3. Protective Equipment is available for use at the park.
