You've all heard about the idea previously. <br />Such a project, as estimated by Staff, would be roughly the same cost. It too would not only serve to beautify the entry <br />of Casselberry with colorful skate element sculptures and create a more welcoming community space for youth living in <br />nearby neighborhoods and multi -family residential complexes, it would chip away at our current deficit of "park" <br />inventory and provide another active recreation option that would further the health element we are all so proud to <br />have adopted. <br />
