This pretty much sums it up - this place rules.
These painted stones are a gift from local artist Jen Hager to “The Courts” skatepark. Jen is not just an awesome artist but a great example of how skateboarding is loved by so many different people. Jen’s story: her son was a skateboarder in Montclair, NJ 15 years ago advocating for a permanent skatepark to be built in the town. Jen told us how happy it makes her to see the current skate community skateboarding at this space.
