Collins Dream Park honors 12-year-old skateboarder in Orange City
Summary
A brief Parks & Recreation segment described Collins Dream Park at 210 East Blue Springs Avenue as a skate and memorial space dedicated to 12-year-old Collin Anderson, created after years of fundraising by his mother and a Volusia group.
Collins Dream Park, at 210 East Blue Springs Avenue in Orange City, is a skate and recreation site dedicated to 12-year-old Collin Anderson, a presenter said Wednesday. The presenter said the park, built after years of fundraising by Anderson’s mother and what the segment called a “Volusia Echo grama,” serves skateboarders, scooters, inline skaters and BMX riders.
The park is described in the segment as both a recreation area and a tribute. “Come skate, ride, or reflect. Collins Dream Park is a place built on love, purpose, and community,” the presenter said.
The segment named the park’s street address and invited listeners to visit. It also said the podcast will return next Wednesday for the final Walk in the Park Wednesday of Parks and Recreation Appreciation Month.
The recording did not include further details about the fundraising groups, official park dedication dates, city funding or any formal actions by the City of Orange City. It did not specify the exact location or meaning of the reference to “1792” in the segment beyond the presenter’s statement that Collin Anderson’s life was “cut short crossing 1792 on a skateboard.”
