Plainfield Park District Skate Contest Returns September 12 to Bott Park

The Plainfield Park District will host a skateboard contest on September 12 at Gregory B. Bott Park, 24550 W. Renwick Rd.

The park’s course includes quarter pipes, grind rails, and mini ramps. The event runs from 12-4p and each skater will perform a 1-minute qualifier run with the top scorers then moving on for a second, deciding round.

Pre-registration is strongly encouraged with same-day registration starting at 11a. The event is open to ages 8 and up. In addition to Bott Park, the Plainfield Park District also maintains a skate facility at Northwest Community Park, 25501 W. 127th St., in Plainfield.
