Skate Plaza Rules

What you need to know about the Kettering Skate Plaza

1 Be smart. We all know that skateboarding and skating can be dangerous.
2 Skate within your skill limits and at your own risk. Taking risks won't impress anyone and you might get hurt.
3 The skate plaza is designed for skateboards and inline skates - no bikes, scooters or motorized vehicles.
4 If you are 10 and younger - bring an adult.
5 The skate plaza opens when the sun rises and closes when the sun sets.
6 Have as much fun as you can because the skate plaza is FREE!
7 Be cool with other skaters. Causing problems is lame and might just get you kicked out of the skate plaza.
8 We recommend using safety equipment (helmets, elbow pads, knee pads, etc.)
9 If the weather is bad, be careful. There might be ice, snow or debris on the plaza.
10 Don't bring ramps or obstacles to the skate plaza - it's great just the way it is!
11 If you're at the skate plaza just to watch the action - great! Just don't hang out on the skating area.
12 If you want to organize an event at the skate plaza, call the City of Kettering first.
