Skaters Talk

  • “I like Ocean city park because the environment is great, I mostly like the bowl.” –Joel Brooks, 17
  • “Probably OC because it’s in the city and is close to everything else.” –Michael Palmentieri, 17
  • “I like OC because it’s always clean, there are bowls and rails that aren’t in most other parks, it’s big enough to do flatground and not be in anyone’s way, and everyone there is always just nice and helpful.” –Tatyanna Rodriguez, 19
