This page is best viewed with Mozilla Firefox or Opera browser. This is the home page of the Freewheels Club of Cranford, NJ, and the Cranford BMX/Skatepark Initiative. Our purpose is to gather public support of a skatepark in Central Union County, New Jersey.

The Freewheels Club raises money for children's activities such as our helmet decorating party, Nomahegan Park cleanup, and our famous Spaghetti Dinners. The kids are also involved in the political process and design of the park. We think it's great that they are taking an active role in their community.

In case you are wondering about our website name, skatingisnotacrime, we chose it and will stick by it until a legal park is built for the kids to ride in.

 CRANFORD KIDS HAVING GOOD CLEAN FUN

LEGALLY AND NOT LEGALLY

Article from June 12, 2011 Star Ledger:
Pine Brook Skate Park

Pizza Lunch Meeting February 5, 2011
the status of the park in Cranford was discussed.
****************
Notes from May 5, 2010 meeting:
1) Many riders have given up hope on ever having a park near Cranford.
2) Many riders since September 2008 already have driver's licenses and can go elsewhere.
3) New, younger riders don't know about us yet. (Please spread the word!)
4) Police have not been hassling kids as much since the Cranford Freewheels formed in September 2008. We may have had an impact on policy.
5) We are going to make efforts to preserve and protect the Nomo Dirt Jumps.
6) Chris Hamilton will be maintaining the Cranford Freewheels Facebook page.
7) Chris Dolan will be calling the meetings.
8) We gave away T-shirts to club members.
9) We still think that the Hillside Ave site was TOO SMALL and would like the township to consider Orange Ave. pool and the conservation center.



***************

Cranford reconsiders site for skatepark. Actually, the Hillside Avenue site was very unsuitable for a skatepark, because it is too small. The Township Committee offered this tiny triangle of land next to the tennis courts for a BMX skatepark.
