Frenchtown Skatepark
Frenchtown Skate Park
Frenchtown Skatepark Association is undertaking an ambitious project to build a skatepark in the heart of Frenchtown NJ.
As of June ‘24, we are awaiting a response from Green Acres NJ on our application to make Frenchtown Field a possible location.
We hope to hear back soon!
Why does Frenchtown
need a skatepark?
For a long time, Frenchtown has lacked a gathering space for older kids who have outgrown the playground.
Hunterdon County also lacks many resources for pre teens, and sadly has one of the highest youth self harm rates in the state.
Proposed Skatepark Location
Along with the Mayor and the Boro Council, the FSA has selected an area the size of a basketball court in the SW corner of Frenchtown Field as the ideal location for the skatepark. This would occupy around 5% of the Frenchtown Field total area.
Because Frenchtown Field is a Green Acres site, we are currently applying for a Change of Use - ensuring that the field can be used for a skatepark .
Community Feedback
From Nov 1 to Dec 17th, we collected 100 responses to a community survey regarding the skatepark.
We’ve since shared those survey results and our initial thoughts in the below link! Take a look to find out what the rest of the locals think about this idea!
