“All Brattleboro needs next is a climbing wall and Frisbee golf,” Dennis Smith said.
The skatepark at the Boys and Girls Club in Brattleboro was a joyous place for my two sons and their friends as they transitioned from children to teens.
This group, with brothers from at least three families, were a mixed-age bunch, and skating was an activity they could all do together, learning from each other and laughing as they flew on the half pipes and made their skateboards jump on the rails.
If there was any sense of competition, it was far less evident than the shared camaraderie of skating.
