Walton Skate Society and our community secured a commitment from the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to provide approximately 20,000 sq. ft. of space at Helen McCall Park located off Highway 98 in South Walton. The original masterplan for the park called for a skate park. This was put on the back-burner while other mainstream sports facilities were built. Due to the efforts of the Walton Skate Society, it is now a reality. The commitment from the BCC ensured our community will have a fun, clean and safe area for visitor and locals to enjoy. Helen McCall Park offers parking, clean restrooms, playground and various sports fields. A skate park is a perfect edition to the facility.
