The Georgetown Action Sports Needs Assessment was completed in 2017 and advises the Town on action sports opportunities (cycling, skateboarding, etc.) in Georgetown. The report includes recommendations for short, medium and long term objectives. One of the short term recommendations, a new skate park, materialized in 2019 when the skatepark at Gellert Park was completed. Look for further implementation of the Needs Assessment in the coming years.
Purpose
The Georgetown Action Sports Needs Assessment confirmed the needs for new action sports opportunities in Georgetown, developed a prioritized implementation strategy and determined that the focus of this project will be focused to hard-surface action sports parks (i.e. skate parks). Outcomes and priorities for implementation over the next 10 years were identified. For all the details please read the final report.
