With spring here and summer right around the corner, it's time to bring out the good ol' skateboard and skater shoes and head on over to the Burbank Skate Park, located at 1625 N. Valley St., for some great skate sessions.

The park which is staffed by City of Burbank Recreation personnel is open seven days a week; Monday through Thursday 3:30- 7 p.m., Friday 3:30-9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. The cost is $ 3.00 for a daily pass for Burbank residents and $5.00 for non-residents.

Annual and weekly passes are also available. There is a one time $5.00 fee for a Skate Park picture I.D. Card. All Skaters must have a signed waiver form, helmet, elbow and knee pads in order to utilize the skate park. The skatepark is available for rental for birthday parties.

The Burbank Skatepark, which measures 10,000 square feet, and features a 4' Amoeba bowl with two hips to hit, a large reservoir with a pyramid, alcove transitions, a mix of trannys,rails, ledges, some stairs, etc. The concrete surfaced park is relatively fast and has some decent flow. The Skatepark is approaching its fifth year of operation, and has been receiving great reviews in local publications.

So, don't miss this opportunity to join a great group of skateboarding enthusiasts for a great time, along with weekly barbecues and special events throughout the year. For more information, please call (818) 238-5390.
