St. Patrick's Day Parade

We had an unforgettable time with the Bungalow Park Civic Association on their Monopoly-themed float at the legendary Atlantic City St Patrick’s day parade!

Skatepark Art Coming Soon

The Skatepark in Uptown Atlantic City has been completed and has been very popular with the community. The next step is to install the artwork. A community survey was held to determine the best option for painting the skatepark and the vote landed on painting the backs of the ramps and leaving the ground as is.
