East Brunswick, NJ Public Conduct: Skateboarding Rules (2026)

Section 158-2 defines the Skate Park Facility as a designated play area or facility situated at Community Park on Dunhams Corner Road in the Township of East Brunswick, devoted to or intended only for skateboarding and in-line skating and designed with special ramps. The rules were added 3-24-03 by Ord. No. 03-10 and amended 4-13-15 by Ord. No. 15-06.

Access is open: the facility is open to both Township of East Brunswick residents and residents of the State of New Jersey. Hours run from dawn to 10:00 p.m. daily unless otherwise indicated by the Director of Parks. The Township will not provide on-site supervision, so compliance with the equipment rules rests on the skater.

Only equipment installed by the Township may be used within the Skate Park Facility. Four pieces of safety equipment are required: helmets, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards. The equipment must be worn at all times, and failure to wear it is cause for immediate eviction from the facility. Subsection F requires a sign at the facility entrance specifying these rules and other pertinent information.

Outside the skate park, the wider park chapter still applies. Section 158-6(G) provides that rollerskating shall be confined to those areas specifically designated for such pastime, and it prohibits games with thrown or propelled objects except in the area set apart for them. Section 158-10(A) requires the opening and closing hours of each individual park to be posted in the park, and the Director can close any section of a park under § 158-10(B). The Director of Parks, Park Rangers and designated Department of Parks employees can eject any person acting in violation of Chapter 158 under § 158-11(B).
