Get ready To skate

Hey dude, get ready to skate.

McMinnville Parks and Recreation is offering a free spring skateboard clinic April 2 at the skate park at Milner Recreation Center.

The clinic is touted as a way to gain confidence and to learn the fundamental skills of skateboarding. Free helmets will be provided by Pinnacle Orthopaedics and free instruction will be given by Vivid Skate.

The skate park, made available by a grant from the Steve and Kate Smith Fund, has been a widely popular place for skaters to flash their skills since its inception. It features ramps, rails and everything necessary to get your best skate on.

Three sessions will be offered April 2. Ages 6-12 can attend clinics at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Ages 13 and older can attend a clinic at 1 p.m.

To register and ensure your free helmet, contact Michael at McMinnville Parks and Recreation at 473-1212.
