Orange Park's skateboard park is not closing but it seems the supporting parents of skateboarders coalition is folding. Here's a copy of an email sent out to members and to My Clay Sun on Jan. 12:

Dear Friends,

The Board of Directors of the Orange Park Skateboarding Alliance met today and after deliberating over the future of the organization have decided to cease operations effective immediately.

Each of us felt that this decision was based upon no evidence of immediate need for the organization to continue as defined in our initial objectives.

Outstanding balances incurred by the organization will be paid for by the remaining funds in the checking and savings accounts. As indicated in our organizational documents any remaining funds will be given to The Town of Orange Park. The website will be closed down and the post office box will be closed by the end of the month. A forwarding address will be provided to the post office box for any mail after that.

It has been a pleasure working with such a diverse group of people and I wish the skateboarding community, The Town of Orange Park, The OP Park and The Skateboard Place much success in making a great place for kids to skate now and forever.

Sincerely yours,

Anjee Rotella
