Daytona Beach opened its first municipal skate and bmx park on Saturday (Nov. 7) at Bethune Point Park. The $800,000 facility at 101 Bellevue Ave. will offer 35,000 square feet of street obstacles, ramps, a bowl, quarter pipe and a “street clam,” according to city officials.
The park will be open from 7:30am to 9:30pm seven days a week. All BMX riders will have to wear a helmet and have park pegs.
The facility was constructed by a Jacksonville firm specializing in skateboard parks and designed with the help of a California-based company known for designing courses for several X-Games competitions, officials said. More from the News Journal
(Editor’s Note: Having grown up in Daytona, this isn’t the first skate park…Stone’s Edge was, but it was privately owned and has been outta biz for a long, long time, and I don’t recall BMX being allowed.)
