Vineyard Road Park, one of 34 parks in Edison, is the only one with a skateboard park. And that will be short-lived, as the donated equipment is being taken down because of parking and safety complaints. It may be put back up near the municipal building. If it has wheels and lacks an electric motor, one can try to pull tricks on it. A bicyclist arrives, along with a roller blader.
More skateboards arrive too.
All the cultures get along. And when you're done, move away from the equipment. Mike Cartagena of Edison, the cyclist, rearranges the equipment and attempts one of the day's most eye-catching tricks. He jumps over a blue trash barrel onto a fun box, then does it again on the taller fun box. It's not getting any warmer out, but the park visitors are getting a workout.
