3rd Annual School’s (Almost) Out Skatepark Day
May 16 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
School’s almost out and summer is just around the corner. What better way to get in the summer mood than by spending an afternoon skateboarding with friends and family.
Kingsport Parks and Recreation is teaming up with 21:12 Skateboarding to host its 3rd Annual School’s (Almost) Out Skatepark Day on May 16 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Scott Adams Memorial Skatepark (Brickyard Park Drive).
“We’re encouraging families to bring their wheels, whether it’s skateboards, inline skates, bicycling or scooters. All riders are welcome to come out and join in on the fun,” said Program Coordinator Michael Morris. “It’ll be the perfect kickoff for the summer.”
The event is free and open to the public and will feature children’s activities, giveaways, activity booths, raffles and food trucks.

About the City of Kingsport
Founded in 1917, the City of Kingsport (pop. 57,500) is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the eastern United States. The city is widely known as a planned community, designed by renowned city planner John Nolen and wrapping around the foot of Bays Mountain – a 3,788-acre park, nature preserve, planetarium and observatory. Kingsport is recognized as an International Safe Community by the National Safety Council, a Healthier Tennessee community, and won the 2009 Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiatives. While many city names are duplicated throughout the U.S., there’s only one Kingsport – a fact that invokes community pride, known locally as the “Kingsport Spirit.” For more information, please visit www.kingsporttn.gov.
