Skate park opens in Livingston after years of dreaming
LIVINGSTON — Among concrete grind boxes and a vert wall, a handrail and stairs, Brett Traiger has found a small slice of heaven.
So have dozens of other Livingston skateboarders, who, after decades of dashed dreams, now have a place to ply their stunts and tricks.
“I come every day,” said Traiger, 15 over the sounds of a dozen wood boards slamming on concrete in the background on a recent afternoon. “And for as long as I can on weekends.”
Tucked in between the township police department and the YMCA, the Livingston Stake Park opened earlier this month after decades of lobbying by skating aficionados.
“We were looking for a safe place for the kids to skate,” said Alan Karpas, co-chair of the township’s skate park committee. “It was all about the kids, getting them out of the parking lots.”
