Little Egg Harbor is getting ramped up for spring — literally. Riders, rejoice. There is finally a concrete alternative to the ocean.

As promised by officials, the Edward Thornton Little Egg Harbor Community Center, at 319 West Calabreeze Way, has been undergoing a massive transformation, from a revamp of the building, to new basketball and pickleball courts and, for the alternative scene, a skate park. The skate park is estimated to open this spring.

Ocean County is home to a massive, but often overlooked, skate culture.
