Central Kitsap High Gym Floor Achievement Unlocked

Skatetown Acquires old Central Kitsap High Gym floor to re-purpose as roller skating rink.

A great showing of working across organizations saves the Old Central Kitsap High Gym floor from the scrap bin and keeps hopes high for a new roller rink for Kitsap County.

BREMERTON, WA., July 11, 2019- Thanks to some quick work between Skatetown and CK Schools Skatetown.org is now the owners of a beautiful wood floor. For now it will be put in storage because no clear building location has materialized. The floor was purchased at the CKSchools auction 7/10/2019 and we are currently working on the plan to have it out by 7/26/2019. If you are able to lend some time please sign up to volunteer and get on a work rotation.

Skatetown initially contacted C.K. Schools back on June 21st. After a bit of convincing that “yes we are serious” capital projects scheduled a tour for the following week. It is a win/win as Skatetown was in the market for a floor and C.K. Schools had one that was headed for demolition. C.K. Schools made it clear in the discussions they would prefer items be re-used whenever possible but it would need to run through a public auction process. That Skatetown will press the floor into service for youth target activities in the community makes this an ideal pairing for both organizations.

Skatetown is now more committed than ever to find a long term home to install the floor. There are several threads being chased out but so far nothing has materialized as the clear path forward. Keep your eyes on social media and the website for ongoing progress and upcoming activities.
