Punx in the Park primarily serves youth 11-18; We are trying to show the youth that their community has their back!

However, PITP is a FAMILY FRIENDLY event! 

NO DRUGS, NO BOOZE, NO DRAMA. It's been our thing, so please be respectful as this is a family fun event.

There will be prizes for those youth who participate in our passport; these prizes may include skateboards, PITP swag, gift cards, and more!
