Drew Hasson, a resident and skater, said Tuesday Groton Skate Park at Sutton Park is much more than a recreational facility — it's a meeting place for the community.
"I’ve seen people make friendships here," he said. "I’ve seen people who have adopted their rescue animals from people that they’ve met at the skate park. I've seen lovers meet for the first time at this skate park, and I've seen beginners at all levels who come here: they have fun, they fall, they get up, they have fun, they repeat the process as necessary."
Hasson is looking forward to seeing how it will look once a renovation project at Sutton Park is complete.
