Spring sprung, summer scorched, and fall is now upon us. The working group continues to meet regulary, and a little while back, a number of volunteers came out and (finally!!) finished staining the jack leg fence that establishes a vehicle barrier for the park. There are more grant applications out to fund park improvements, the county along with volunteers have been maintaining the grass. We greatly appreciate all of the park users helping keep our park clean by picking up their own garbage, and others!

A HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT! What a great day! The park was extremely busy all day with people skateboarding, scootering (is that how you say it?!), and enjoying the beautiful day! On June 1st 2024, we had our Skate Park Grand Opening event. Local supporting organizations came out including Clinton Rural Fire, all four members of the Clinton Community Council, James Thomasson from the Clinton School Board of Trustees, Missoula County Commissioner Josh Slotnick, Girls On Shred, Blackfoot Communications, and more!

What a great success! Twelve total kids from Clinton Elementary School were able to participate in three days of skateboarding basics. Over the three days every single student dramatically improved. Each one getting one on one time throughout the two hour sessions by the instructors, Randy and Thane! Day one! Something like half of the students had never been on a skateboard until the first day of the Skate Camp.

RSVP/Share On Facebook! It’s official, June 1st will be our Grand Opening! While the Skate Park has been open since the concrete was finished, we weren’t able to schedule a Grand Opening event until June 1st. So come down and enjoy some time skating! Maybe grab a bite to eat, and maybe meet a special guest! Come on down, Saturday, June 1st, 11AM! Food Trucks Speakers Community Booths “Race Around the Track” skating event Ribbon cutting And of course, free skating!
