"About Butterbeans..." The owners, John Baker, Denny and Toni Mytrysak, wanted to provide a place for local teens to go after school and on weekends. Providing such a place gives them somewhere to meet and have fun while keeping them off the streets. Along with the local kids, we came up with an idea for a skate park. The facility consists of various ramps and platforms accessible for freestyle bikes , skateboards; scooters as well as inline skates . Along with the skate park, the building holds a game room with various video games , pool tables and vending machines . We also have added a beginners room, where first time skaters can practice at a lower level of intensity to build their confidence. While there is no real age limit to the park, the facility has been designated under 21 to let the public know that the consumption or bringing of alcoholic beverages on the property will not be tolerated. The average age of patrons ranges from 9 years of age to 29. But, most lie in the 12 - 18year old group. Adults are always present tosupervise the activities on the premises. We do convey a relaxed and fun environment while keeping a close watch at all times. Butterbeans, which is open seven days a week, has attracted quite a crowd since our opening in August of 1999. Our prices are low compared to the other area skate parks. We keep an open mind for suggestions from our patrons to better serve them. We also host birthday parties and other functions for community groups.
