Mike DeLuca's Philosophy:
This comes from my point of view as a skater. I thought it was so unfair that these corporate skateparks were charging the fees they were. As a skater dad with three kids that skated, it really ticked me off that it would cost me sixty bucks to skate for two hours. I thought why not build a skatepark, charge a small fee to cover the overhead (utilities, insurance, labor and day to day expenses) and give a skater the chance to skate in a clean, well lit and safe environment. While I was at it, give mom and dad a great place to watch there kids excel at what they wanted to do. Today our session prices are still the lowest of any major skatepark in Georgia.
Even with the outdoor addition a year and a half ago we have NEVER raised our prices since the day we opened. I've always said if I ever won a lottery, the first thing I would do is make the park a free place to skate, but since I deal with banks and Insurance companies we have to charge something. We charge no yearly dues and we don't charge out of town kids any different than locals, everybody pays the same. When comparing skating to any other sport in our county, you get so much more here at Progressive. For $72.00 a month you can skate open to close seven days a week. That's 20 cents an hour! Some parents think skating is expensive, Let's see, Little League Baseball, $400.00 for twelve one hour games, calculate it, that's $33.00 a game, but hey, you also get about six hours of practice time to go with it. Now figure if your kids sits the bench for three innings, what's it really cost?
And that's fair?
It's just my opinion, everyone has one.
