Jul6 Expert Q&A - Operations

We have determined that charging a fee to ride at our skatepark is going to be required, is there a standard fee range? What’s acceptable?

  
Unfortunately at times this is unavoidable. One good solution is to charge a one time annual fee. Ocean Beach, California and many others have charged annual fees between $20.00 - $30.00; each member is issued a card. If you must charge at a public facility each visit then $2.00 - $3.00 is ok, over $5.00 can just be too expensive unless it is an excellent facility. Private skateparks usually offer additional value, making admission worthwhile.
