PROGRAMS
Family Skate is the best way to have fun with your children, every Sunday from 10am until 12pm. Our Family Skate program is a one hour group lesson, followed by one hour of open skate. The best part about Family Skate is that it is only $10 and includes any rentals needed! We are in need of a sponsor for Family Skate, which runs every Sunday morning, as a low cost way of bringing families into our park.
At C.J. Skateboard Park, we have a variety of different lessons and programs that people can attend. On Saturdays we offer a Beginner Group Lesson @ 10:00, a Girls Group lesson @ 11:00 and another Group Lesson @ 1:00.
One in particular that is growing and becoming very popular is our Beginner Group lesson. In our Beginner group lessons, we start off with a group stretch, and then our instructor will assess the different abilities of each student, and guide each of them in a direction to better their abilities. After the one hour lesson, students also get two hours of free skate to practice what they have learned. Our Beginner Group Lesson, in addition to Saturday morning at 10:00, is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays @ 5:00pm and is only $20 and includes all rentals excluding a skateboard when you show us your CJ Membership card. So if you were coming to skate at the park its only $10 extra if you are a member what a deal!
DEMOS / TEAM INFO:
We are more than happy to bring our best instructors and volunteers to your school, event, or special occasion to perform a demo, including a talk on safety and answering any questions the attendees might have about C.J.'s and what we're all about.
SPONSORS
We would like to thank all of our new and old sponsors for all of the support we receive. We are always looking for more sponsors to help so just call or email us for more details on what you can do to help!!! We are in need of a sponsor for Family Skate, which runs every Sunday morning, 10am – noon, which is a low cost way of bringing families into our park.
If you have any old Skateboard decks that you no longer need, please drop them off at the park, as we are collecting skateboards to hang on our walls to create a cool visual. Also if you have any used equipment, please drop it off so we can donate it to people who may need it.
Please remember that C.J. Skateboard Park is a NOT-FOR-PROFIT Corporation specializing in hosting a safe environment for all skaters including those with special needs.
We are still in need of the following:
- An enclosed, single axle trailer to move portable ramps for off-site demos

No matter how big or small a donation is, we here at C.J. Skateboard Park appreciate any help given. Thank You!
