Winter Watering Guidelines

Like a bear, your lawn is going into hibernation. Don't wake it with water! From November 1 through March 31, spray irrigation is limited to once a week. Running your irrigation once every 20 days is usually sufficient, or just hand-watering as needed.

We get it… the excitement to skate at J.J. Book Wilson Memorial Park is REAL! Trust us, we’re just as excited as you are! 🛹

But here's the deal: It's still an ACTIVE construction zone.

As tempting as it may be, please DO NOT climb the fences or enter the construction area. Those fences aren't there for decoration, and the last thing we want is for someone to get seriously hurt.

We'd much rather celebrate opening day with you than have to invite Princeton Police Department TX to your unofficial skate session. 😉

Hang tight, keep those wheels ready, and let us finish building something awesome! Until we officially open, stay out, stay safe, and respect the construction barriers. No exceptions!
