Insurance rules push Aiken to staff skate park
Aiken’s proposed skate park will be staffed either by senior volunteers or paid staff to meet insurer requirements. The Recreation Commission prioritized child safety and discussed staffing plans, including using the city’s senior tax write-off program. If staffed by paid workers a fee may be charged, with helmet and pad rules under review. The park is to be built on the four old tennis courts at Virginia Acres Park after high school tennis season delay.
