Most recently, portion of fence was removed for juveniles to gain access

Township hopes to prevent improper use of skating facility through ID card system
It was recently reported that after a vote from the Township Committee, the recently reopened Gille Skate Park will be open seasonally through the fall, and its upkeep be maintained through the use of appointed monitors.

We've had our moments, but we're doing well. It's a much better situation there now,” Recreation Director Jim Wioland added. Gille Skate Park is currently open from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
